I don't make any claims to being an amazing chef or to knowing everything about food. I don't even claim to be a knowledgeable foodie! But, I do enjoy cooking and I really love to eat well. I'm currently just a lowly graduate student trying to scrape by, but I see no reason not to enjoy food and make the most of what I have. I never planned to make a blog out of my "hobby" (it seems funny to call it that when I eat out of necessity), but a friend of mine suggested it--and the rest is history!
