The evolution of a foodie, part I

I have a thing for food. I have a thing for reading about, growing, gazing upon, and otherwise exploring all things food. I chop, I dice, I mix until moistened, I whip to soft peaks, I boil, broil, bake and braise, simmer over medium heat, chill over night ... And of course, there's eating. Tasting, nibbling, chomping, savouring ... I'm a licking-the-bowl-clean, sopping-up-the-sauce, juice-running-down-my-fingers food enthusiast ...

Yep. I love food.
