Dinner Or Disaster

My name is Dan Shaurette and the question I most despise is, "What's for dinner, Dad?" Maybe it's because I'm a guy, but I like to be prepared and have an answer. OK, so sure, some days it's the old standbys: pasta, soup, tacos, etc. Other days, I'm feeling adventurous. Maybe I'll make a tried and true but time-consuming meal, like chili or jambalaya, or I'll really gamble and cook something new.

I consider myself a foodie, but I wasn't always this way; I used to be a picky little brat. Now I'm raising four picky little brats. Ahh, karma. So now I take on the mantle of the dad that makes something and has to convince the kids, "Here, try this... it won't kill you and you just might like it." I'll admit it, I get a rush when they like it.

One day I decided to share my food experiences, both good and bad, with the world. I want to share my family favorite recipes and the new ones I saw on TV. When we do eat out, I like telling folks about the great and horrible restaurants. But most of all, I love talking with other foodies, and that's where YOU come in. See, this isn't just MY blog. Anyone can join, create a blog, share recipes, restaurant reviews, and just hang out with other foodies.
