Hello, human person.
I’m Gary.

My wife kept asking me to recreate things I made for dinner, so I started writing them down. What began as self-defense turned into a food diary I'll one day share with my kids. Turns out a few other people wanted in too... including the judges on MasterChef. Now it's all right here.
