Welcome!
Thank you for checking out this blog. As NAOmni I am the head blogger, but I often enlist the input of friends and welcome the same from my readers.
I am currently a "recovered" anorexic and am busy completing my senior year as a nutrition student at a four year institution. I will graduate with a B.S. and hope to go on to complete an internship and reach the status of a Registered Dietitian.
I am obsessed with all aspects of food: cooking, baking, preparation techniques, advertising, food and its role in culture...the list is endless. However, I am a bit of a walking contradiction as far as my interests and personal beliefs go.
Examples? I love the cultural significance of cereal boxes. However, I hate the thought of pumping sugar laden cereal into millions of kids.
I love all things organic, and would love to live preservative free, yet I have a strong food science background and appreciate the innovation, research, and hard work that goes into that. I am not afraid of MSG.
So this blog? The result of me being a walking contradiction is that this blog will cover any and everything related to food. The mention of meat will be minimal, but present in regards to the environment, economy, and personal situations. While covering all things food, I will actively seek out and highlight things I personally feel strongly about: the environment, body image, vegetarianism, and travel.
I thank you for reading, and welcome to this blog.

Looks good! I wish I knew you wanted a bread machine a few months ago...I had one that I was going to Freecyle, but I ended up giving it to someone I knew who lost their job. I didn't want to sell it -- I was looking to "spread the bread love" to someone who would use it -- and now that I'm making bread the old-fashioned way, I just haven't needed it. Here's my tip on finding one: go to GARAGE SALES. I go all the time in Spring and Summer, and I always see nearly new bread machines for no more than $20. Look for Bread Man or (if you're lucky) Zojirushi. Actually, if it's nearly new, it'll work for you anyway.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, back to your About page...(sort of related, anyway)...you should totally start using Twitter! I'm Twitter friends with some other bloggers that are interested in food the way I am, and it's supposed to be a great tool for spreading the word about your blog. And since you have an iPhone and all, well, it would be easy to update! I still haven't put the Twitter widget on my page, but I'll get around to it soon.
Ramble, ramble...okay, you should totally kill this comment after reading it...I'm done rambling, I promise.
