And we're back!

It's been about four years and boy have we eaten and cooked a lot!

Oh, wait - I just said we.  So the "we" in question is me and my fiance.  We both really enjoy food and we will be working this blog together.  I'm the cook - he's mostly the restaurant guy.  He cooks as well, but much cooler than that is that he conducts food tours (mostly in the Lower East Side of New York City).

By the way, I've been good too.  New job, new apartment, same cat.  I have found some new recipes and tastes that I will be sharing.  I don't exactly plan out my week anymore.  Rather, I go to Trader Joe's on the weekend and pick out whatever catches my eye.

Lately, the household has moved towards whole foods and healthy eating.  We rarely have meat in the house, we eat lots of veggies, grains, and fruit.  Oh and eggs!  Eggs are good.  I have eggs every morning.  My fiance has a fruit and vegetable smoothie every morning.

So, when we try something new in the kitchen or when we want to feature a restaurant that we love, we will post it here.  We might do other things too - who knows.  It's all about food though.

Oh - one event that is coming up is The World Series.  While neither of us follow baseball (or sports at all, unless snooker counts), we like to use the major sports championships as a way to explore foods from other places in North America.  We are rooting for Washington and Detroit since we haven't tried to make cuisine from either city.

Also, we tend to eat out and go to an indie movie every Friday - maybe we'll have some kind of "dinner + movie review."  I might let my fiance write the first one of those - we saw "The Zero Theorem" (his choice) and went to a restaurant that is owned by the uncle of a friend of his sisters.  Which is a long way of saying that we don't know the owner at all.

We will try to post as often as we can, loyal fans (at last count, there were five of you - how exciting).  So tell a friend that we are back!
