And so it begins….
For some time now, friends, family…and occasionally, someone I hardly know, has said, “You should do a Food Blog!” I enjoy cooking. I’m not a chef…not by a long shot! And, I have such great respect for those that have gone to culinary school, studied, struggled and worked so hard to find success at any level preparing food for others! And it’s on that common ground that I stand with so many of them who get pure joy form the privilege of cooking and sharing good food with family, friends, and now…you through The Briggs House Food Blog!! I truly hope you enjoy the glimpse of the The Briggs House that I plan to share through this medium!
So who…or what is The Briggs House?
Well for starters, I’m obviously not an original…nor is our house or much of the food that has been prepared across generations of our family. There have been a few items along the way that I’ve never seen anywhere before, or a nearly unique way of preparing or serving one course of food or another. But all in all, like most families, and the food eaten around the tables in their kitchens, dining rooms and on top of their knees or coffee tables in front of the TV, what is always unique and special are the hands that provide and prepare that food…and so often, teach us and pass along through us the important heritages and traditions found and celebrated with food!
In The Briggs House Blog, you will find out about what we like to eat; what others have said they liked that we served them; and how we came to love hearing from the friends of our kids, that they wanted to go eat at the Briggs house…even in the morning before school sometimes!!! And, I’ll try to tell you how I like to cook that food, share some recipes and pictures and if you’ll put up with me, even share a thought or two along the way that will hopefully encourage you, even inspire you to enjoy time with family and friends through preparing food for those you love and are important to you in life! Let’s get started…at the beginning!!
