I've been keeping a blog since 2005. But, it was exactly three years ago that I decided to give up on my little piece of angst-ridden ranting cyber real estate and started to write about food. It was after all the one thing that constantly made me happy. When I first started, I had no idea where it will take me or how long I'd keep doing it for. It was just a way to record my food journeys and discoveries more than anything else. Soon, with the support of some friends, the blog became an outlet for my creativity and the current comical look was created.
Since then, I've written about countless dishes and meals. Good, bad, outstanding or atrocious. But, the one reoccurring theme in all my post has always been about the people I've dine with. The center of my stories have always been about the company I keep. I count myself very lucky to have the privilege of dining with McCutie and my good friends (both from before the blog and those who I've gotten to know through blogging), and being able to feature them in the pages of my comics. I want to take this opportunity to thank them for inspiring my comics meal after meal. Believe it or not, most of the best liners were actually taken from our conversations on the dinner table.
And lastly, to all my readers, thank you for constantly reading my blog. I wouldn't have lasted this long if it wasn't for you.
Looking forward to sharing many more great meals and stories soon. Have a fun weekend ahead!
