38 year old poz GAM living in New York City (or Hobbiton, the Shire depending on your point of view). Many varied interests including but not limited to cooking, eating, good books, good music, working out and long walks on the beach. 
Keeping a healthy positive outlook on life is extremely important to me. Part of that involves experiencing the joy of cooking, especially when it comes to food grown with respect, cooked with love and treated with care.
Note to new readers: This blog started out as a personal journal chronicling various topics such as politics, gay rights issues and individual cases argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. For a while, I also wrote about the travails of the Bush administration. Throughout it all, I’ve always maintained a healthy interest in food, whether I was dining out or eating in.
About a year and a half ago, I decided to embark on an experiment where I would cook seasonally and buy locally, keeping in mind that there are some things that are exempt, like for example, chocolate and citrus fruits. It was around this time that I decided that I also wanted to improve my food photography skills. The result is the blog you see today.
When possible, I use ingredients that are organic and/or locally grown. Although I’m not a vegetarian, I like to think that I do my part with respect to sustainability and environmental awareness. I support local farmers because it promotes ecological diversity, because it helps provide good food for all and because of the economic benefits that such support brings to the table.
If there’s anything I hope my blog imparts, it’s an appreciation for the beauty in food and in the world around us, for cooking seasonally and eating well.

Um, cute gay Asian posting on sushi and trendy new movie releases
with a link to Orson Scott Card and a slam to the NYT food review staff, chased with
a spoiler of Project Runway’s finale? I’m smitten! {{{swoon}}}
Thanks, I think. Heh.
Slamming the NYT’s food critics is a spectator sport that’s been perfected elsewhere to the level of fine art. Me, I’m just a wannabe.
Stash –
Very impressed by your discussion of privacy at JMG.com.
Myself, I’m a retired lawyer, and my wife is, I kid you not, “The Spiderwoman of Wall Street.”
Running into again at We, Like Sheep induced me to look at your blog. Formidable!
Spiderwoman of Wall Street? There’s a story there somewhere.
My good friend Leigh told me that I fit 10 out of 20 of your BF checklist. Honestly I’ve not yet gone through the list, but I will after I finish writing copy on babies and diapers (that’s advertising for you). And even if I did, New York is still New York. But at least I have a new blog to enjoy reading.
Stash,
Thanks for stopping by my space, and I look forward to reading you. We share a love of food and photography, and I have enjoyed your posts at Farmboyz and JMG. Let me know via e-mail if you would like a login to my site, and I will then add you to the blogroll!
Very nice blog. I think I’ll link to you.
You’re darling, and so is your blog. I don’t know much about dwarves and elves, and sometimes I wonder how much I know about men
, but I do know a little about food.
I especially know about gnocchi love. heh.
I’ve enjoyed the entries on your blog and look forward to more!
thank you for stopping by the other day.
