How a Blog was Born

This was a journey that started on a Sunday night Twitter chat back in January 2012 with a picture of Alex O’Loughlin and an innocent comment, the photo was dubbed “a little AOL on the rocks". Knowing my love for cooking my friends challenged me to develop a drink recipe, yet there were some stipulations. Ingredients must start with the letters A, O, L and have a hint of the tropics. This lead to a drink so aptly named AOL on the rocks (just keep it simple). I was further challenged to see if I could keep the inspiration alive, and the birth of a blog began.

This blog has taken my love of cooking, while intertwining my love for a television show and challenging my imagination. The recipes, some are family favorites that are revamped, given a new life and story. Some of my family’s favorite recipes that just needed to be shared with others, now have found a new story to tell with some familiar characters. During this journey I have found ways to pair recipes with the characters, without leaving Long Island. As I grow I find this journey has me trying new venues, new styles, exploring all that this journey has to offer. Since I have not only explored new culinary techniques, but traveled to Hawaii and met some amazing people.

My love of cooking was inspired by a very special woman, my grandmother Grace (Gracie). A woman who showed me that being in the kitchen was always a fun place. It was just a part of your soul and lived in your heart to be shared with others. That is what I try to do here. Something I have to say recently I understand the joy she found sharing her love with me, I now find the same pleasure here. This journey has let me realize how blessed I am, and how many special people have come into my life during this trip.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said "Life is a journey, not a destination." This is one journey I am truly enjoying.
