First Draft

Here I am, at last with a blog. Not sure how to do this or what I'll do with it yet, but I'm thinking the main purpose will be meditations on food--eating well, eating in season, eating thoughtfully. I'm looking forward to hearing from others out there on these topics. Of course, in the tradition of blogs, this will be mostly self-centered--what I've been cooking recently, where I've eaten recently, new recipes, musings, etc. The title reflects a merging of my background--Mennonite roots (the standard cookbooks More with Less, Extending the Table, and now Simply in Season) mixed with more gourmet influences (epicurious, Gourmet magazine). Mollie Katzen fits somewhere in there too--I think she's an honorary Mennonite but also a little bit gourmet.
