Mark is a gardener, has a culinary certificate from the New School, and travels far and wide for all things related to bacon, ice cream, donuts and cheese.
We’ve never met a cut of meat we didn’t like.

very cool blog idea:)
how bout some GF cooking ideas?
would you believe i never looked up to see the “about” part of this blog? until today, that is. i’d say good luck, but it’s already been said, and you’re obviously successful. and inspiring to so many members of your family, me especially. well, i can only speak for myself!
I am so proud of you EM! Can’t wait to hear the great recipe you and Mark cook up with the sausage I bring back next week. YUMMY!
G & P (Alias M & E) – You do know how to eat and drink well. Need a testimonial – I’ll be happy to oblige. Good luck with the blogs E – that’s a lot of scripting.
Congrats!!
A great idea, and I look forward to a year’s worth!
