Hi:
I've been tuning into cookbad.blogspot.com being a lurker for quite some time now.
I figured that I will get involved and communicate with the people here.
I'm expecting to connect with a great deal of entertaining people and discover some outstanding stuff.
I'm hoping this didn't get put in an inappropriate category. Forgive me if "eGullet" is unsuitable.
