Hi everyone!

 

My name is Michael, and I’m joining you from Chicago. I’ve always loved exploring new flavors, cooking for friends, and learning about world cuisine (especially dishes with a bit of spice!) ❤️

 

I’m excited to be part of this community, eager to learn from you all, and looking forward to sharing my cooking experiences too.

Thanks for having me! 😁

 

Michael

Welcome, Michael. As you can see, we're only a few hours' drive from Chicago. It's been a long, long time since we've had actively participating members from there. I think a couple of them are still active on LTH. 

 

We used to have "Heartland Gatherings" that members would host and/or coordinate. They were in Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor multiple times, Chicago/Evanston, Cleveland, and Kansas City. Please forgive me if I've forgotten any. Just to give you an idea of what they were like, here's the eG forum about the Chicago gathering. And if you're up for it, you could read all 33 pages of the planning forum.

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

No amount of belief makes something a fact.  -James Randi, magician and skeptic
