a compendium of miscellany

So I have been thinking about starting my own blog for a while, because really everyone is entitled to my opinion. I wanted to call this "eat my blog," but some other clever and more motivated individual beat me to the punch. Why chai? Well, that would be my beverage of choice and I have been known as "chaigirl" for ages now. Having said that, I am not averse to some red wine either

I am a psuedo-foodie and psuedo-academic, f-t mum of a busy three-year-old. My passions include food (naturally), words, and television.

Food: I love to cook, but not everyday. I love to eat out, but not everyday. I aim to strike a balance. I eat out a few times a week and will post about my experiences here. I have a steady date Thursday nights with a dear friend with whom I have had some lovely meals as of late.

Words: I am forever working on book in my mind. I have been known to read books with a dictionary nearby so as not to miss out on the slightest essence of an unfamiliar word. At one time, I also corrected misspellings in books I was reading. Obnoxious, perhaps, but I am no Lynn Truss. One of my favourite things to do is read when all the world is sleeping.

Television: I have a particular predilection for shows that are a bit off the beaten path like Buffy, Lost and Veronica Mars. However, my husband will attest that I will watch pretty much anything if I am bored. Perhaps that explains that ugly 7th Heaven period I went through. Gilmore Girls also makes me happy, although not so much as of late.

This blog will be a compendium of miscellany of my musings, passions and encounters; that is, whatever is my cup of chai.
