I know it won’t be long before I resemble this bird — stuffed and exhausted — so I just want to say as we approach Thanksgiving that I am thankful for many things. I live each day in total awareness of how fortunate I am for good health…to live as I do…and to have wonderful family and friends in my life. I take nothing for granted.
A perfect meal has multiple levels of flavor and textures, bright colors and tastes, and healthy(ish) choices. It's all about enjoyment. Enjoy the process, the presentation and the just rewards...eating!
I've always been a culinary improvisor which means I get my kicks out of recipe development. In the FOODalogue kitchen each meal is an adventure and the journey is as exciting as the destination. My favorite kitchen tools are imagination and intuition. I rarely look at a recipe, not even my own!
On these pages, I suggest food pairings and techniques to be experimented with...in your own kitchen...to your own spice levels...and to your preferred portion sizes.

HAHA! Happy Thanksgiving to you! Hope you recover from yesterday’s feast!
It’s very nice to hear such a simple message of thankfulness. I think maybe we often focus too much on the food and forget about the other part of this day.
