Only the Beginning... (Run Away, Run Away!)

Hello!  I'm A. Random Hapa, and I'm here to comment on Guy Fieri's hair. Hey...doesn't Anne Burrell have almost the same 'do?!

A little more seriously: I'm a 30-something librarian who likes to take shots of food, primarily on this blog.... I'm hoping to post on our common foodventures and funny little tidbits I (or others) find on the web. I may eventually get on the Chef Ramsay beat, since I don't have cable. I feel I'm a little less snarky than my co-conspirators, but I hope to give a feast for the eyes... and the funny bone. Or try a little goofiness now and again...

I also seem to like ellipses...

The Start of Something Snarky

When my husband, Dave, and I watch food shows, particularly food competition shows, our conversation tends to be a combination of playing along and cracking on the contestants.  When we watch Chopped, we pause the tv after the baskets are opened and figure out what we would make with the chosen ingredients.  When we watch Best Thing I Ever Ate, we note what we would choose for each category.  When we watch Hell's Kitchen, we wonder who would come on the show not knowing how to successfully cook scallops or make a risotto.  I had the idea recently to add a few more personalities and turn this banter into a blog.

So here's how this will work: Whichever author is the first to watch a show will post their reactions, and the other authors that watch that episode will edit the post to add their opinions WITHOUT changing or deleting anything written by another author.  Readers are welcome to comment with their opinions, and authors who have not seen the episode will add any opinions through the comments rather than adding to the post.  For both readers and commenters, please no spoilers about future episodes if you have seen them.  I'm one of those people who sometimes had several episodes backed up on the TiVo, and I want people like me to be able to read the post about the episode they've seen without getting the ones they haven't spoiled for them.

So, ladies and gentlemen, sit back, relax, and enjoy the snark!
