I am Stuart, an expatriate Scot living in Birmingham, Alabama. Join me on my voyage into the world of cooking, preserving, and talking about food. I am not any kind of certified food expert – I am just one guy who enjoys creating, eating, and talking about food. If anything I say here conflicts with advice from experts or professionals, you should always take the advice of the expert or professional.<\/p>\n

As of March 2010 I renamed the blog to “Addicted to Canning”. This is to reflect the new focus of the site, which is going to mainly – but not exclusively – be about my experiences in canning (or putting up\/putting away) food. I hope that many people will find this site a useful reference point for learning about food preservation!<\/p>\n

I am also keeping in mind the maxim Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better<\/strong>. There are things everyone can do to make their diet “better”: eat organically grown produce, naturally raised meat, grow your own, etc. But you should never allow what you can’t<\/em> do be the enemy of what you can<\/em> do: Commit to making just one change to your diet<\/strong>. Switch from sweetened to unsweetened sodas, and see how your health changes. Make one more change… add more veggies to your meals? Eat one meatless meal a week? Subscribe to an organic CSA for one year to see how it goes? <\/p>\n

The sky is the limit – but it starts with making one change!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
