Hello, new friend

Welcome to Chronic Mastication, my cutting-edge food blog. I am one of those people who never stops thinking about food...what my next meal is going to be, what to serve at a party next month, what to eat for lunch tomorrow.  I used to run a cute little cafe in Portland, OR called Half & Half. Then I opened a second place.  Then I left everything and took a job in advertising.  This is my story, as told through my oral fixations and self-indulgent meditations. Bon appetit!
