About

Hey guys, Emily here. 

Pig Extraordinaire. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that anything I attempt to pass off as wisdom on these pages should be taken with a grain of salt. Or a shot of whiskey, or a generous fistful of fries. I earned my BS in Journalism from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and my culinary degree from the University of Hey, My Husband Likes It! And, of course, my mom’s kitchen. I use simile like the cool kids use body spray (mistakenly and in abundance are both acceptable here); I believe in umami; and I’m an Only Child. Yeah, I threw in that last part as an attempt to explain away instances of misplaced judgement or blatant self-centeredness, but I also like to think Only Children developed a special bond in the cabbage patch that forged a connection beyond being referred to as “capital-O-capital-C” Only Children, which is sounding even eerier and more post-apocalyptic by the second.

But I digress. My greatest loves in this world are my family, my friends and the food we share, and that’s what I’ll attempt to capture here. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll stick around (if not for the food or inflated insights at least to keep any rogue sass in check).

Pig out.
