StaggShire

I'm starting a blog for several reasons. . .

• Because I love to learn about the daily happenings in other people's lives on their blogs, and hopefully others might like to see what Kevin and I are up to as well.
• I'm journalistically inclined.
• I've been bored at work and I figured a blog would be a good remedy for that.

I've called the blog Epicurean Ethic because that's the ethic by which Kevin and I live our lives- in the pursuit of culinary delights and exquisite pleasures. Now that probably sounds pretty selfish and totally hedonistic, but I think it's all in how you go about pursuing those delights and pleasures, and what you consider delightful and pleasurous. (yes, pleasurous)
Here is a list- extensive, but not all-inclusive- of what we deem to be such:
