Welcome!

On more than one occasion, it has been suggested by a number of friends that I start a blog. I would always chuckle while thinking to myself what a double-edged sword that idea presents. I do enjoy writing a great deal, and I like to think that I'm "above average" when it comes to conveying my thoughts in written form. And the latter part of that sentence gives us the second edge of the sword - my opinions. Like many, I have lots of opinons, and you will likely see evidence of them while reading this blog. Sarcasm is a must. It's natural (hopefully) that you will agree with most, and disagree with some although in a few instances there will be those that totally agree with me at all times, and that's fine too. So here we are. My blog. I hope you enjoy your time here, maybe get a chuckle or two, and hopefully take something away with your thoughts.

This blog will primarily deal with topics related to two of my passions, Food & Beverage(s)! I love everything that is the vast world of topics dealing with what we put in our mouths. I love to cook, and I created my personal chef business almost two years ago with the goal of bringing freshly prepared meals using local ingredients to the busy households of Sacramento. Equally as fascinating is the topic of beverages. In particular, beer. To get even more particular, craft beer. I am an avid and passionate homebrewer. To me it is the perfect marriage of culinary skill and science. And while wine has enjoyed the spotlight when it comes to "pairings" with food, I think craft beer is going to make it's presence known and become the next "it" thing to do. The idea of beer as we know it is changing at an incredible rate, and with micro-breweries, pubs, and tasting rooms popping up left and right, it is a subject that demands more attention. So if you have ever wanted to know more about food and beer, this is the place for you!
