I have, in the past, written about trying to find my voice. Personally, I believe I have only recently been able to partially accomplish that, at least in the context of this site. In the beginning, I feel as if I was simply trying too hard to make the site popular, and trying to make it look cool, and be stylish, and have hundreds of thousands of visitors. It’s not about that anymore, not for me, and I’m glad for that, but in the mean time, I’m finally beginning to write about things in my life that are more relevant to me, and the life that I live.

This blog has seen me through those changes, every step of the way, and you can see the changes in me reflected in the writing of my posts, as well as the categories, and general attitude of the site. Sports have taken a backseat as something that I post about. While they’re still important to me, they’re something that I watch, not something that I do. New categories have been created, to write about The Girl, or Work, or our Travels. The ‘Moments’ category sprouted up, inspired by another site, and meant to convey what makes mine and The Girls relationship uniquely ours. Articles in the category of Life have taken on a greater importance to the site.

With that said, I hadn’t ever written at all about food until the previous post, but it’s an important part of our lives, The Girl and I. We enjoy going out to a multitude of ‘favorite’ restaurants. Martin’s Tavern in Georgetown for brunch, or Jaleo for tapas, or Old Ebbit Grill for the Trout Parmesan, and an experience that’s the essence of DC. But we also like to bring the tastes that we find into our own kitchen, cooking for ourselves and our friends, and families, and for whatever reason, we haven’t really shared that.

Until now. In the future I’ll be sharing some of the recipes that we’ve found, or created, or copied that we like the best, and that have become staples in our cooking. Some are complex, most though, are quite simple.  I do this now, to continue what I spoke about above; to share those things that are important to me with those that want to know more about me. There’s also the hope that, like with a blog in general, we can take a snapshot of a moment in time in our lives. And inevitably, I hope that others can get some joy out of those tastes that have brought us, and our friends, together.
