A New Year...and a New Blog

Hi There. As we are now firmly planted in the new year, I thought to make good on one of my (many) resolutions, that actually may have been a left over resolution from last year: to start a blog. I see this blog as a way of holding myself accountable for some of my other resolutions: (i) to become more computer literate; (ii) to take up photography; (iii) to improve my writing; and (iv) to cook more often. I have been a serial blog-lurker for a long time: cooking journals, around the world travelogues, lifestyle envy pages, you name it, I've followed it. However, I never really comment (or interact in any way) - hence the lurker description - and I figured that it was about time to come out of the shadows. Hope that you have a fun time following along with me!
