Welcome to my kitchen!

To me, the most important room of anyone's home is the kitchen.  I love kitchens.  I have moved into places just because of how the kitchen looks.  I will like any song that has the word kitchen in it.  This is the depth of my obsession with kitchens!  When I was a little girl and we would go to visit my grandmother, even though she had a perfectly wonderful living room, with plenty of seating even when the whole family was there, we would all crowd into the kitchen.  We would sit around the big table, or in one of the extra chairs in the corners, or crowd into a corner if we had to, but we all wanted to be in that room, where it was warm and something delicious was always cooking.  I spent quite a few years as a grown up cooking out of boxes, but becoming vegan changed that for me.  When I decided to change my diet, my own kitchen became the comforting and wonderful place to be in my own house, and now, after much urging from friends and my husband, I am starting this blog to share my interests, primarily in cooking, but also in the million other things that I love to talk about while sitting around in the kitchen.  So pull up a virtual chair.  Have a cookie and some tea.  And let's talk about what's for dinner!
