Test posting...

This is the first "real" blog posting. It's more of an experiment, actually, as I am completely new to this blogging thing. I thought I would start by saying that my sister is my inspiration to start blogging (see her blogs to the left: kim-squared, and graciekdesigns). She is so creative, I love it! However, much of my inspiration has also come from the loads of food bloggers whom I follow (also see blogs to the left), and the delicious descriptions and photos they post. My lovely boyfriend, D, got me a Nikon D40 for Christmas (best gift ever!), so I am starting to take photos of my favorite thing of all: FOOD! Particularly, I'll be posting things that I cook, but I'll also be posting reviews of places I go out to eat. Now, being that I'm a poor grad student, those postings may be limited to budget eats in the Boston area, but hey, I might discover a hidden (cheap) gem!

To further the experiment, let's post some photos I took while out to dinner in DC for my friend's birthday...










Now that I've sufficiently screwed up the layout of this posting, I'll end this by asking you to be patient with me as I learn how to blog.
