I am obsesseed with food. I can't get enough of the TV Food network, Epicurious.com, Cooks Illustrated, etc. My life revolves around food shopping and planning meals, preparing food, eating/experiencing food, and dicussing what food I've eaten recently. It is the only "hobby" I've ever been able to stick with. Nothing else can compare. It is so much a part of my life. Anyone with the same feelings, feel free to send me an e-mail!
