Information and ideas for the Practical Gourmet in all of us.

The content for this site has been available in three separate locations. That meant each new post had to be cross posted twice. Making it time consuming and annoying at times. The reason for leaving the site spread out this way was because I hadn’t decided which way to consolidate all of this in one spot. One way is easier another way is cheaper. Well. finances being what they are, I have decided that cheaper is the way to go. Wordpress adding more storage for photos was a big help too.

So, to make this as short and sweet as possible, the site has moved to a new address.

In Good Taste!

The address is: http://ingoodtaste.wordpress.com

If you are a regular visitor or would like to be one, please update your link appropriately.

Thank you

What’s the point?

This site started as a place for me to share my interests. That pile of divergent bits and pieces went together like puzzle pieces from different puzzles. So, I thought about the problem. I considered and calculated. I worked and researched about the issue. In spite of these facts and I came up with several solutions.

First, the thought of changing the site from a site of many interests from one person to a site focusing on one area of interest from several people. Especially people with more knowledge and writing ability than me.

Second, the most popular interest, of my offered list, was food related. So, and this is quite a reach, I decided to focus this site on food. I won’t go through the complex calculus-like calculations I had to go through to get to that conclusion.

Third, a name change. Ideas were tried and considered, but they all felt wrong somehow. Then one day an idea popped into my head, don’t look so surprised it happened before just not that often. “In Good Taste” was adopted, and in spite of the source, it was embraced as a good title.

So with a direction and a purpose, the journey began. The boundaries of this site are anything food related. Even that broad description gets pushed pretty far now and then. In order to fill in all of the shortcomings in my base of knowledge, I have recruited people with different tastes and experience than myself. The hope is that we will have people who can deal with all aspects of cooking and food in the near future.

Please feel free to dig around and see what we have to offer. If you don’t find what you are looking for, feel free to ask in a comment. We can either answer the question or find where to answer the question in most cases.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the site.

If you have a question, just ask in a comment.  I don’t mind and in fact that is why I have this blog.  Just post it in a comment.  I’ll get back to you soon, and if I don’t know the answer maybe I can give you a direction to find the answer quicker.

You know, questions about whether that fillet of soul that smells bad, really is. Or how long should you cook shoe leather before serving it.  Or maybe something simple, like how long does vacuum packed salmon last.  Either way you can throw it at me and I’ll give it my best shot.

Hope the site is interesting and useful.

How do you define a person.

I’m like you, I go to an about page to learn a little about the person behind the blog. Get an idea of where they are coming from and what they are doing. Where they live and who they are.

So how do I give you a decent definition of me (without showing all the shortcomings I wish I could hide in person)?

How about a chalk outline? Most people would fit inside mine. (Oops, that’s one I would have rather hid)

Intelligence? A little more than average but not as much as I think I have. (So my wife tells me) Yeah, and married too. We have four kids. Two smarter than me now and two smarter than me later. (That means two teenagers and two toddlers)

Education? I graduated Valedictorian. (Really small school) Went to college and left college. (Found out later if I could have paid the bills and stayed twice as long I would have had a degree)

Profession? No, just work and lots of it. (That means only a little pay and no prestige, so I’ll tuck the other details away in that corner over there out of sight) I used to run a Meat Department and Custom Meat Cutting Shop. (Why did I give that up? Money and prestige of course. So yeah, why did I give that up?) I’ve done several interesting jobs over the years that would make you think I’m interesting but I don’t want to mislead you on that score either.

Hobbies? Yes, many, if you count things I enjoy doing but rarely have time or money to pursue, hobbies. Some would call those fantasy hobbies. I like blogging, hunting, hiking, (breathing hard, apparently) reading, and cooking. There’s more but I could see you were nodding off.

Where in the world is Brutus? Well that is not as easy an answer as you might think but I live in Oregon. South Western Oregon to be a little more specific. I’m half-way between the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains. (And twice as far away from Portland as I am from Either of those.) Sorry, I liked story problems in school.

Well, that’s about it. I know, disappointing. I expected more too.

Hope you enjoy the site.
