I'm going to assume that, when someone like me starts to write a blog, they have no idea where to begin. Why do I assume this? Well, because I'm as 'like me' as it gets (usually) and I have no idea where to begin :).
Most of you reading this will know a lot about my background. For those of you who don't know me, I won't start at the beginning, but I will say that I'm a 38 year old, single, Jewish female living (usually life) in NYC. It has been mentioned to me, more than once, that I should write a book about my life. And, while I won't bore you with all the gory details (well, not yet, and certainly not all at once), I figured I'd test the waters.
Life du Jour - a fancy way of referring to taking life one day at a time, or a reference to a daily option on a food menu? In trying to figure out exactly what to write about here, I thought I would start with the stuff I love the most - family, friends, food, wine, travel, etc. I go back and forth in my head about writing a blog about my life, or just stick to the lighter topics. So, maybe I'll start with a little bit of both and see what happens.
When it comes to talking about my life, clearly I don't need anyone's permission to share information. As Bon Jovi once said "It's My Life". At 38, one would think I wouldn't be such a rookie at life. However, I've discovered that I will probably be a rookie at life no matter how long I live, and just hope that it will continue to fascinate me for as long as I'm living it.
Regarding food - posting recipes, wine reviews, etc., things become a bit trickier when blogging with regard to giving proper credit to the information I share which comes from other places. So, as a disclaimer, I will say here that I will try my best to make sure that any recipes I copy word for word, or even adapt, I will do my best to give proper credit. If I don't, please send me a message and I will gladly fix my mistakes.
So, now that I've rambled on and on in my first post, I hope you'll join me on this journey (which, in all honesty, may not last very long). I am sure, however, that it will be long enough for you to grab a glass of wine (or Whiskey, soda, or water) and make yourself comfortable. Then again, I'm just a rookie, so what do I know?
