I Cook & Cuss in the Process

Lord knows, you might too.

You might be wondering why I decided to start a blog. The short version is : I had a few internet friends & a few real-life friends who were very sweet and kept repeatedly telling me “you should start a blog!” — & that’s all it took! No, just kidding. In all seriousness, I truly did have supportive people encouraging me to start a blog, but my fear was always “Who the fuck would even want to read this?!” But then, I got over myself & realized I could indeed write a blog & try to contribute some humor to it as well! But below are some other great reasons why I wanted to start a blog & a lil bit about me too :)

Let’s see — first & foremost, the fame that’s SURE to come with this, oh yes.

I turned 32 & realized I wanted other hobbies, yes.

I finally decided to stop being self-conscious & go for it!— yes.

THE PANDEMIC — yes, yes, YES.

Like most other Millennials, I feel pretty comfortable around technology. I’ve wanted to find a quiet, fun, easy, creative outlet for quite some time but didn’t know HOW to get there. I’ve seen so many successful & amazing food blogs in my day (umm, hello, TableForTwo) and was already intimidated, even though I don’t dream of having a million followers & all the responsibilities. Not to mention HOW these other food bloggers REPEATEDLY come up with fire content?? Daunting, to say the least.

I digress.

My Mamaw’s cast iron skillet is my favorite kitchen possession. She has seasoned it well & me along with it. My favorite recipe of hers to make is her white sausage gravy atop toast or a biscuit. “Shit on a Shingle” is what I’ve also heard it lovingly be referred to. The humble cast iron skillet is SO versatile. It can sear, bake, broil, char, melt — & you NEVER have to wash it with soap!

I’m a simpleton. An ambivert at her finest. I’d venture to say I’m a cat lady if I wasn’t married. I’d also like to think I’m pretty hilarious, even if my husband tells me I’m not. My perfect solo-day consists of rainy weather, quiet solitude, a great book to read, a kitty’s head to scratch and a cup of lavender tea to sip. I enjoy thoughtfully prepared food, have just a few close friends, & I try my best not to take shortcuts for anything in life. I’m a lover of prosecco & good wine — and I have a deep appreciation for others who do as well. Except for Moscato & Sauvignon Blanc — you can take your fizzy, sticky juice & your sour, grassy-shit elsewhere.

Other than that, Welcome y’all! Lets get to it!
