Presenting The Faux Gourmet!

The Faux Gourmet has been on hiatus for a while. I began this blog as a creative outlet during law school. After law school, I started other blogs on other topics and no longer needed this as a creative outlet, not to mention my diminishing free time.

But I kept cooking, kept taking food pictures and garden pictures, kept wanting to share the little tidbits of what I'd made. I occasionally did this on my personal blog (to which, I'm sure, people yawned and wondered when I'd post another cat picture). But I started to miss this space. Of all the blogs I have, this format, culled over several dedicated years and incorporating that adorable illustration by Sam Wedelich (see info the left) is by far my favorite.

So I'm back!

Expect short and sweet posts. Less food porn, more recipes and tips. If you want food porn you can look at any of the 5000 million existing food blogs. I don't have good lighting in my apartment and don't have time to style plates. I just want to make something yummy and eat it. If that sounds ok with you, stick around.

Looking forward to being back in touch!

    What's in the Pot? in the News!

    If you recall, I wrote about Wine Weekend last November and December, covering the Thanksgiving weekend festivities celebrating the bounty of Washington's Yakima Valley. I'm going back again this year, so stay tuned for some fun entries to come. In the mean time, one of my photos of last year's event is featured in this year's promotion, available here. (My photo is the color shot in the slide show.)

    Also, thanks to all who have helped What's in the Pot? grow over the past year. I'm excited that we have now surpassed 5000 hits and are seeing more new visits on a daily basis. What's in the Pot? has come a long way . . . and it is only going to get better. Thank you for being part of it!
