About Me

Hi there. I’m Dave. But you probably guessed that.

I’ve been cooking my entire adult life and collecting things in books, binders, notebooks, websites. Decided to try to get it all in one place.

I enjoy both cooking and eating. Recently I discovered that I don’t have to overeat to enjoy food, and that’s resulted in (so far) dropping 59 pounds — from a grossly-obese high of 289.8 pounds to 230.8 this morning. I’m somewhere between 6’5″ and 6’6″ — getting older and shrinking is such fun — so I’d like to get down to around 205 – 210.

Anyway, I’d like to write here about cooking, store recipes I don’t want to lose, cooking techniques and implements, and maybe a bit about eating better. I’m not a nutritionist or some health nut, but I have learned a lot over the past few months of eating better and more consciously.

I’m also a photographer. My main concentration is real estate and architectural photography — I have a website at DavidReedImages.com. Some of the images here will be taken with a DSLR, some will be taken with my phone.

Oh, and I’m in the United States…which means the measurements here will be Imperial because, ya know, metric is evidently hard for us.
