palate

bon vivant

i've decided to start blogging again. blogging takes a lot of time and commitment. the problem is time. i was reading the info for blogger beta for my other blog and thought about either starting or continuing this one. i can't possibly think of another name for my blog.

i looked at the Roget's New Millenium Thesaurus 2006 Edition and came across the word bon vivant.
Definition: one who lives well

Synonyms:  aficionado, connoisseur, connoisseur of food, connoisseur of wine, enthusiast, epicure, epicurean, gastronome, gastronomist, gourmand, gourmet, refined palate, social person

I COULDN'T DESCRIBE MYSELF MORE!

a new year 2006

it's another year.... it's been awhile since i've written a new entry. this year, i plan to do a healthy take on my diet. basically, like every year for most people,  i want to lose those unwanted pounds. it will be a difficult and challenging year since i love food. i love going to different places to try different foods. i love to watch the chefs prepare food for their customers. i love to observe people's reactions.

i've taken photos on my camera phone on most places i've been to. it would take a lot of effort to document my efforts  in my "weight loss program" and also to review places i've been to.

wish me luck!

Food Review

i've recently been to several restaurants with friends and the Hubby and I will be posting shortly my take on the food, service and ambiance. Some of the most notable are the following: Beacon, Sona, A.O.C. and boule. I'll also detail my account on some of the foods I started cooking at home as practice from my culinary class.
