I have a true passion and undying love for gastronomy. I’m a founder of CulinaryCulture, a site devoted to serious and aspiring foodies. I dabble in custom architectural and interior design from time to time. I have a couple of other exciting projects in the works, so stay tuned! I’m also married to a rather interesting man, who has started companies like Threadless.com.

It was so great meeting Gail’s parents for the second time and hearing some of their personal commentary on their famous daughter. Over the course of my weekend with Gail and Sam Beall, I learned so many valuable things about the food industry in addition to critiquing food. The experience has left me inspired to say the least.</p> <p>More photos <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/loveablelamb" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>http://www.mischadehart.com/post/1043068741http://www.mischadehart.com/post/1043068741Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:52:00 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7zfqc5gOz1qz6m5to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sunday Lunch</p> <p>Grilled pork loin and cheese sandwiches and a homegrown garden salad with heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion.</p>http://www.mischadehart.com/post/1038421514http://www.mischadehart.com/post/1038421514Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:32:35 -0500<p><span> </span><a href="http://www.jacobd.com" target="_blank">Jacob</a> bought a bunch of flank steak to test our new freezer in the garage before we <a href="http://www.mischadehart.com/post/541294341/my-current-obsession-bison" target="_blank">bring home our bison</a> at the end of September.
