This blog is intended to celebrate my love for and enjoyment of food and cooking, as well as keep notes on my gardening endeavors. Since I also love and appreciate words, being a graduate student in English literature, it seems fitting that my great pleasures in life should be combined in this way. I study medieval literature, focusing on bodies and their consumptive practices, whether those be gluttonous or abstemious, steamy or straight. Within medieval tradition, theologians like Bede and Augustine compared reading to eating in a tradition called ruminatio: students of Scripture were directed to metaphorically “chew” the text, meditating and contemplating it, rolling it around like a cow chews her cud. If reading equates to eating, in the mother of all SAT analogies, writing must equate to cooking. As I put together ingredients in my kitchen, adding the correct quantities in the correct way, following procedure to produce a delicious meal, then here I put together the right words, choosing carefully and ordering well to give you a delicious reading experience. Thus I combine these two facets of myself, and I hope you enjoy the results.

Wow! Am I honored!
I’m going to make the chicken & salad for Sunday dinner this week. Since we grow our own garlic, it’ll be easy to make this as often as we want. Thanks, Chelsea!
PS: I LOVE you, too!

When I googled “blackberry eating in late september”, one of my favorite poems, I found you! What a marvelous writer you are, and your food looks lovely. I hope you’ll be posting more soon.

Jennifer: thanks for your kind words! Coincidentally enough, I logged on to upload a post and found your request. I will be trying to post more (and more frequently) soon, as the semester of school winds ever more quickly to a close.
