When I look back over the past few months of this blog, aside from the air-travel stuff, there’s an awful lot of references to food. One of, if not the, greatest passions of my life – it’s also been (rightly or wrongly) an emotional crutch, a distraction, a pleasure and a pain.
I have wanted to have a blog about food for so long, but have never really had a purpose, you know, something that made it different. So I went out and instead of a purpose, I found a porpoise – so the blog is all about how to eat water-park inhabitants.
It’s not, www.eatsmeetswest.biz is the blog that charts my indoctrination into an entirely new cuisine for me. Above and beyond having a Thai Green Curry in Peckham, my knowledge of real Thai food is pretty slim. Now, I’ve been to Thailand a few times and indeed, when I started this blog, the first entry was in fact a recap of my extremely expensive holiday in Phuket. When I read that now and look at me now, so much has changed – and with KK co-editing for me (he’s the brains behind the menu’s) it’s full rice steamer ahead!
Anyway, www.eatsmeetswest.biz is my our endeavour – it’s less of a blog and more of a place to store my online recipes. You know, when I started blogging, like emw.biz — I did it for me and if it was read by friends and family, well that was their benefit. This new blog is my place to keep my memories of learning, loving and longing for new foods.
Ghin Khao!*
* Let’s eat!
