Introductions

We are here united in the quest for great food, the joy of eating,and the happiness of friends and family. Speaking of family, here is their introduction.

There is my father Walter. Having honed his taste buds to discern the subtilty of flavor, sweet and savory, acid and base (cream), and several other factors he is the kitchen Maverick, flying by the seat of his pants yet still claiming victory. His wingwoman and better half is my mother Paula, no less intense in her cooking zeal. While she is far too critical to ever admit it, she can make quite the delectable dessert, or anything else she puts her hand to.

Then there are the kids, myself included. Living under the tutelage of two food obsessed parents is all the schooling we have. Well, that and the constant echo's of the Food Network that has aired in our home since its inception years ago

First we have Corey, AKA The C Note. At Shawn's height and Shawn's weight minus about 30 pounds (Hey Shawn..) C Note is the youngest member of our band and perhaps the most particular. Having lived with both parents by himself for a considerable amount of time, his focus can be relentless.

Then there is Marissa, AKA MarZ, the Southern Bell always ringing, the woman of borscht and broccoli. Here to balance the other two parts of our sibling dish.

And me. Parry. The third ingredient of the sibling trifecta. I am here to try to ensure that these adventures get recorded.

And now, for the food...
