About me

Hello!  My name is Sharoda and I am a food enthusiast.  I love to cook and make merry by eating and enjoying good conversation with others.  I was born and raised in Houston and embrace my roots both as a forever Texan and a Bengali woman.  I currently live in Atlanta with my super handsome husband, Joe (fellow food enthusiast) and our fish, Watson, Crick, and Cori.  By day, I am an epidemiologist, but in my spare time, I enjoy cooking, eating, reading books on my new Kindle, running, practicing yoga, and exploring new cities, and especially, new restaurants.  I often dream of food, think of brilliant recipe ideas while asleep, and sleep-talk about food in the middle of the night (allegedly).

I started this blog because I wanted to document special moments and memories I have experienced through the power of food.  I go through periods where I write a lot, and then other periods where I haven't posted in months -- even during these times, though, I plan out posts in my head that just never get typed out.  Subsequently, I have a mental database full of blog post ideas that I try to write out whenever I have the time.  Nevertheless, I always enjoy writing, and I hope you all enjoy reading this!
