Pleasing My Palate: Wisdom to live by

The only thing more disgusting during breakfast than biting down unexpectedly on a rancid nut is biting down unexpectedly on a rancid cacao nib.

Take my word for it.

About me

Hello from Chelsea in NYC! My name is Michael and I live here with my partner, Peter, and our 2 Chihuahuas, Freddy & Willy. When I'm not eating or acting as pack leader to the dogs, I teach a program of voice instruction that combines voice and Alexander Technique lessons and what I call Voice-Enhancing Bodywork. (See my other blog, ArtandScienceofSinging.blogspot.com.)

Over the years, it has become increasingly important to me to put into my mouth only the best food and drink I can procure. What I consume must exhibit healthfulness, sustainability, deliciousness, and variety. I abhor ingesting anything dull and anything containing artificial ingredients, anything of low quality or in poor condition. Not being wealthy, I also take cost into consideration, but I am willing to splurge on ingredients in my kitchen, because it really doesn't cost all that much to obtain food and drink of high quality. Of course, the most important ingredient is the creativity of the cook. In this blog, I will report on my efforts towards creating great meals at home and satisfying my finicky standards when eating out.
