Oy vey, where to start?

I have rewritten what I would like to be the first sentence of my first post about 47 times now.  I need to stop agonizing and just dive in.

I started writing The Cultural Culinarian for The Tufts Daily two years ago, and I wish I had the guts to start writing it the second I stepped foot on campus.  Food writing has become a huge part of my life during my time at college, not just in my column but also in the classroom.  I’ve written papers on everything from restaurants in Edo-era Japan to cookbooks written by women in England in the 1650s.  Now that my time at Tufts is coming to an end, I decided to take to the web to find a new home for my foodie ramblings – without the 600-650 word restrictions of my column.

You can read all of my old columns at Tuftsdaily.com, and I will post my new material on this site in addition to my blog posts.  For me, this blog is a way to force myself to keep writing, to keep thinking about food in different ways, even with graduation and all of the uncertainty it brings looming in the future.
