Let me introduce you to ME!

Hello friends and future followers -

I have decided to start a new blog SOLELY dedicated to food! For those of you who know me, I love cooking for family and friends and for my wonderful boyfriend Shaun... but everyone, including me, gets stuck making those same old easy dishes week after week. I have found a way to introduce new dishes into my weekly routine - with this very blog. I took a count the other day and realized that I have 92 cookbooks sitting on my bookshelves collecting dust! I know, I have a different problem on my hands, but that is another story. I have named my new blog "Random Acts of Food" because I will be using a random number generator online to choose a recipe from a random cookbook for me to make when I want to try something new. Don't worry - I'll be sure to include the name of the cookbook I am using each for each new recipe in case you'd like to reference it on your own. You will also note in my future blogs that I talk about a "Home-Tested Binder", which is sort of a scrapbooked collection of recipes I've put together from the MANY magazines I subscribe to.

Just to make this blog even more random - I'm going to review the restaurants I eat out at in and around Boston and hopefully include pictures.... This is a very ambitious and tedious task I am taking on but I am up for the challenge! Friends and family (and Shaun) - I am going to need your support on this because it is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Thank you! You all better yell at me if you see my posts getting sparse! Oh and if anyone would like to do a "Guest Blog Post" with a recipe or restaurant review - we can set that up!

I hope you enjoy!
