My sister cooks.

This blog came very close to having an excellent name: The Chef and I.

Mary thought of it, sometime after I, at a very late hour indeed, volleyed the idea of a joint cooking blog. I made sure to include several disclaimers in my suggestion so she would have plenty of avenues for backing out. But she ignored these and came back with a great title.

As it turned out, each assumed she herself was the "I" and the other sister was the "Chef."

Apparently Chef Andi thought of a blog first, though. The domain name was already taken.

Back to the drawing board. Truffle Pig? Taken. Truffle Pigs? Nope. My sister cooks?

Done.

And now enough of this jabber and on to the food. Welcome! Here you'll read of two sisters and our kitchen capers, our culinary adventures, and the recipes that have made it into our "Keepers" files. Go ahead, settle in. My sister is cooking, so it's bound to be delicious.
