5 Things About Me

Greetings out there in internet land! I know a lot of you are reading this via your feed aggregator or your feedblitz email notification. Most of the time I try to keep this web site strictly on topic about food, cooking, knowledge, and kitchen devices. But I just wanted to take this opportunity to say hello and introduce myself.

My name is Adam, and I am the publisher of this site. You can read more about this site and myself on the handy-dandy about page. I was tagged by Kathy Maister of StartCooking.com for this internet Meme. Go check out Kathy's awesome site while you're at it. And now for 5 things about me:

1. I am an Eagle Scout. I earned it in 1993, and I will sing it to the end of the world. I consider it to be one of my greatest accomplishments in life and I always put it on my resume.

2. I love musicals and opera. Seriously, if people are singing on stage, I'm lovin' it. I also love musical movies and cartoons. Elmer Fudd singing "Kill the Wabbit" is classic.

3. I am a first generation Texan. Yes, it's true. As much as I ballyhoo my Texan-ness, both of my parents moved here from other states.

4. I played trumpet in the University of Texas Longhorn Band.

5. TheWife and I dated only 2 months before we got engaged at 21 years old. This year we will be celebraing our 10th anniversary.
