Hmm, where to begin. If I had my choice, I would definitely choose “living to eat.” I’ve grown to believe that “living to eat” and “eating to live” are not mutually exclusive. In everything, there’s a balance. This blog is primarily about that journey. As in many journeys, there will be detours. But that’s part of it.
I’m The Mouse and I like to cook. Sometimes more than actually eating (but not by much). I rarely use recipes and often make things up as I go along. Part of this blog is to try and document what I cooked so I can cook it again. I’ll try to be as detailed as I can (key word “try). Don’t expect too much details. If you want more information, leave a comment, I’ll get back to you.
The Cat is the chief taster in the family. If the dish passes her, it’s good. If it doesn’t, oh well.
We also like to eat out, and eating out provides inspiration for me to try it at home, but with The Mouse’s spin on it.
For now, about us, let’s just say Living, loving, eating, tasting, cooking, and sharing …
Peace out.
The Mouse
Hello Mouse, thank you for visiting my blog which I gladly reciprocate.
I agree with the saying, live to eat and eat to live.
Thanks!
Hello The Mouse! Just wanted to say thank you for visiting our blog and for the like on the post about Varanasi. In case your interested there’s a second post about Varanasi, focusing on life on the Ganges, here:
Lovely!
http://alisonanddon.wordpress.com/2013/02/10/india-part-15-varanasi-the-holy-city-of-benares/ I think it’s better than the first.
You won’t find much about food in our blog, but it’s clearly a big passion for you that shines through in your blog
Cheers and blessings
Alison
thanks!
Ni hao! What was wrong with this comment, please?…

Amen to finding that balance. In French, they have gourmet and gourmand. I would prefer to be on the side of the gourmet, appreciating food for it’s flavor and beauty. Sometimes, however, I am the gourmand and I want to eat a lot. Balance is tricky.

It’s now night at 4:45 pm, chilly and wet…and your blog takes me back to Hawaii and all it has to offer. The green river article was brilliant, transporting me to the Nuuanu YMCA (the old one that was kitty-corner to present site) lunch counter: rice and gravy and a green river – $0.25 as I remember. P told me about “Banner of the Pig” years ago, and I’ve been following since. Thanks so much for helping this transplant keep contact with his roots.
Sincerely,
Mick
