My name is Melissa and quite honestly I LOVE food, I mean really really love it! I consider myself a true foodie. I have been touted an adventurous eater; I have yet to meet the food I refuse to try. There is only one food that I can think of that I do not like and that is Liver. It smells and tastes great I just don’t like the fact that it gets bigger the more you chew it, that’s just strange to me. If I had to pick a style of cuisine that appeals to me the most I would have to say anything Asian (Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese). The various spices, preparation styles, and ingredients greatly appeal to my palate. My friends and I eat out often and love to explore new restaurants as they pop up around Maryland. On those rare occasions when I am not eating, I am a Mental Health Therapist/Social Worker by trade. I work with children, families and couples. Helping people grow and become more insightful is unbelievably rewarding and fun. I have to admit I love what I do. I know that is rare in this day and time so I consider myself blessed. In between eating and working, I enjoy traveling, going to the theater, the movies, reading, working out (I have to with all the eating I do) and last but definitely not least going to Church. I have to thank God for all the yummy food and all my other blessings.

Ok, my name is Angela and I am a food connoisseur and an all around nut. If I were an actual nut, I would be a macadamia nut. For those of you who do not know much about the macadamia nut, the macadamia tree produces these nuts only after it is 7-10 years old and requires fertile soil and heavy rainfall to do so. Macadamia nuts themselves have a very hard seed which when opened reveals a creamy white kernel containing 80% oil and 4% sugar. At more the $30 a kilogram it is the most expensive nut in the world and incidentally a favorite of my mother. Wait…I digress, I am a single 34 year old mixed; part African American part Puerto Rican female; fun fabulous and fascinating. I am 5 foot 1 (never mind how much I weigh) with brown eyes and sandy brown hair that falls a few inches below my shoulders. I like to think of myself as curvy, sexy and sassy. I would one day like to have a husband and kids but unlike most of the women I know I can happily do without as well. I do not troll the bars for dates (just the best drinks). I live my life to the fullest with an eye towards doing all the fun and fascinating things this world has to offer before I die. Now in comparing myself to that nut, I am not saying that I am too expensive to have, just that I take good care of myself and I know my own worth. For now, let us just say, I love to eat (as this blog will attest to), travel, eat, hang out with my girls and talk about everything under the sun and eat. Moreover, occasionally, I like to be alone to enjoy my own company, and the peace and quiet that comes from communing with my world, my Lord and my cat…her name is Misty…and eat. J
