Howdy Y'all!

I guess I need to get off my ass and start posting. So a little about me...
I'm (obviously) new to blogging, so apologies up front for the screwups that are bound to show up on here, but I wanted a place to document my thoughts, recipes, trials & errors :)
About three years ago I started my decent into FOODIEDOM (my creation) by accident...I was laid up due to a wrenched back, and was pretty much stuck watchin the boob-tube. I happened upon two episodes of Good Eats...By the second show of Alton, I has hooked....
I discovered Ramsey (who, thanks to torrent files, I now get to see in his non-"fuckinghellpissoff" Brit versions of Hells Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and my most recent catch-up, "The F Word")....It is odd, to say the least, to see a laughing and joking Ramsey when my primary knowledge of him was Hells Kitchen...it's almost as if there is warp in the fabric of food-time....BritGordon is much more entertaining than StatesGordon...more genuine
My other major influences are; Alton for his ability to satisfy my geek curiosity about the food as well as the culinary end....and the laughs that ensue; Bourdain, I dont know why....he reminds me of me, but is actually a damn good writer.
Guy Fieri....One of my favorites! I have caught him on everything he's hosted since winning TNFNS, but with his recent announcement of what sounds like a talk show, "Guy Off The Hook", will he stretch himself too thin ala Emeril or Ray? In his defense, he does have a high energy level, but, then again, look at Ray. I hope for his sake he doesnt burn the candle from both ends too fast...I would hate to see Big Bite or DDD start goin by the wayside at the expense of a few TGIF commercials and sponsored contests that he is obligated to Emcee.

Time Shall Tell.......
