A bit about moi

That’s a dog in the bottom left- not someone’s moppy haircut.

I’m Jessie and I like love everything related to me eating food.

Honestly, I don’t know how it happened because when I was younger, I really couldn’t have cared much for food. In fact, I was one of the pickiest eaters around. I think my dad was really worried for awhile…

Then I got my driver’s license. And then after that, I went to college in New York City. That’s actually how this blog started. I became the girl who friends went to for restaurant advice and at one point I was like, screw it. I’m starting a blog so you can find the information yourself. But, friends today still ask (it’s okay).

Eating out so much got expensive and when I studied/traveled abroad in the UK and Australia (at exchange rates that would make your arm hair quiver), I began cooking. Awhile later, I moved into an apartment (dorm) with a brand new oven and somehow, I migrated from boxed mixes to baking from scratch. It’s really not so hard. Half a year ago (fall of 09), I finally decided to upgrade to a DSLR. I realized I really like photography.

So roughly 2 and a half years later after this blog started, I’ve graduated and started working. That means two things. Less time to blog, but even more traumatizing, less to eat. Sitting on your behind for 12 hours a day isn’t exactly ideal for the human body. I’ve had to change the way and when I eat. I have less time to knock off the list of restaurants on my list and splurge on sugar on the weekends.

But you know what? Life is still good. Having a paycheck means I can buy all the butter and sugar my heart desires. It also means I can upgrade my photography equipment. I currently shoot with a Canon Rebel XT with a 100mm, f/2.8 lens. It’s such a beautiful lens.

Outside of savory-bites, I manage Don’t eat that yet!. It’s a visual restaurant review site. You should check it out.

Don’t be a stranger. Drop in to say hi. Leave a comment. Oh, and you should follow me on twitter.
