About

In the late 19th century, economist Thorstein Veblen coined the phrase “conspicuous consumption” to describe the lavish behaviors of the nouveau riche class that emerged after the Industrial Revolution. Seeing as it’s 2008, however, it seems fair for me to redefine it as one that describes primarily, my love of eating food and my passion for writing about it in explicit detail, as well as my general fascination with “things” that I like to make my own so that I can study them, think about them, describe them, share my thoughts about them, basically consume them in whatever fashion allows me to do this. In short, if you love food and have an abnormal tendency to analyze endlessly, then you may be at least mildy entertained by what’s written here.
