A New Year, A New Theme

Once again, we begin another new year equally as full of hopes, excitements, and resolutions as the last. Like many other people my age, my resolution last year was to finish high school strong in order to be prepared to start college in the fall. As you can imagine, this was quite a loaded resolution. Unfortunately, as my schedule filled up and time ticked down, the food blog was reluctantly put on hold. All went well with school, and all continues to go well in college at Boston University- and I've found myself happily returning to my blog. Living in a freshman dorm with hardly any access to a kitchen makes cooking- and tasty food, for that matter- a rare luxury. The long afternoons I once spent learning about and creating new types of food have been replaced with long nights of studying and the occasional wink of sleep. Determined to sustain the blog in this hopefully brief but undeniable period of kitchen separation, I've decided to take advantage of my location: Boston, Massachusetts.

The birthplace of the nation, Boston is home to a multitude of restaurants- whose cuisines couldn't be more varied. A walk down one street can take you to all the way from Panera to a sushi bar, from a quaint Thai restaurant to a vegan pizza shop. How do you know what to get, and where to go to get the best? I'll tell you what you need to know to decide.

Although assessing the restaurant world is quite an undertaking, restaurants are only part of the picture. Just as the world of food extends far beyond fine dining, as will I. Cookbooks, grocery stores, tea and coffee shops- food is a cultural compound that whispers- or, in some cases, shouts- its presence in almost every aspect of our lives. Why not embrace it?

So here it is. With my lack of cooking resources, I will dedicate this blog to everything good- I mean, everything food. While the experience of creating food is irreplaceable, lack of a kitchen can't take me away from sharing my experiences of food.
