Why.

I decided to start a blog for several reasons. First, I need a place to purge all of the random $h*t that crowds my brain! Also, you never know, you may just get a great recipe out of me on here. I have countless memories I want to record, crazy friends to write about and topics that simply need to be pondered. So, this is it...you're in the mind of the Tastemaker!

I decided to name my catering company the Tastemaker because I thought it was clever. Normally a tastemaker influences fashion or art. Well, the culinary arts are my fashion, honey, and I wear it well. I have a way of making your taste buds dance and influencing your cravings. Honestly, my cooking comes from my heart and it is my pure passion and my heart's joy to feed people. It is my creative outlet.

Keona.

I just showed Keona my blog site and she asked me to put her name on here, so there it is. Through my blogs you will no doubt get to hear all of her crazy stories and all of the "keonaisms". She has a language of her own sometimes and I love it. Here's something to share...when I picked her up from school on the 20th, she was excited to discuss the Inauguration and our new President. She asked me, "Mom, will Obama lower the prices on Nintendo DS's and iPhones?" WTF?! Is that my daughter's concern?! She said that she needs a new DS and when she gets older she's going to want an iPhone. I was over her.
