Writing & Stuff
Thoughts on writing and writings about things I’m thinking about.
Food & Recipes
What to eat, where to eat and how it’s made…according to me.
Places & Events
Where I’ve been, where you’ll find me and where I want to go.
Crab Cake Imitation
Nate’s Crab Cakes
There’s a lot of food in your book.
There’s a lot of food in your book is a comment I received from one of the early readers of my manuscript. There’s really no surprise how that happened.
Pot for Polenta
I remember hearing my Nonna grumble at my mother when she was making polenta.
“Why can’t we eat something better? Are we poor?”
Ultimately, the beauty of storytelling- whether as a reader or writer - is that it doesn’t have to be confined to a single genre, just as the multiverse suggests our lives aren’t confined to a single outcome. We exist in a world of possibilities, and so do the stories we create and consume. As a reader, I still chase after stories that move me, regardless of their genre. As a writer, I strive to craft stories that do the same - drawing from multiple genres to create narratives that resonate deeply.
