For those new readers out there, this blog is a continuation of my year long project, The 48 Feasts, which chronicled my culinary adventures will separated from my family for a year due to military service in Korea (that’s South Korea for those who are keeping score). While the previous blog was on a strict time table with 48 specific events documented to mark the time that i was away, this project is intended to be much more open ended and as such may not be updated weekly but will be continuing until it no longer serves a purpose. I look forward to the influx of ideas from friends and family and the communion that comes from sharing food with those same people. i envision this blog to be a bit more upbeat but just as inventive and exploratory. welcome to the journey and i hope you enjoy the ride…
