Creative outlet

So this is it. Much debated , I decided to start a blog. A warning: Please forgive my typing skills and grammar, I tend to type first ask questions later. And by type I mean 18 years of refined hunt and peck.
I decided to start a food blog, not because I know a stitch about food , but because it has become a hobby of mine the past few years. I think I can trace it back to a humid afternoon on the couch with some friends ( you know who you are) in Texas. Yep , the food network. Probably because my job is not a terribly creative outlet , and flipping house is so 2004 , I find myself dreaming up things to make for the wife and kids. Its fun , we like it , and if I screw it up Woodstock's is a phone call away.
Now to the blog. Chico is a relatively small town by California standards, but full of energy and ideas. Since out growing the bar scene, the restaurants are the attraction for a family man like myself. We have all manner of places to eat. From the ubiquitous Taco trucks, burger joints to somewhat shishi ( is that a word) upscale bistros. That being said, I want to chronicle visit to all. Commenting of the food of course , but also the overall experience. A friend recently said life was too short spend time watching a bad movie, listening to a bad band , and reading a bad book. I would take that a step further, its also too short to eat bad food and spend your time and money is an establishment that doesn't value you as a customer. Don't look for me to comment on the use of truffle oil, or the foie gras. It just need to be good, made with some care. Anyway that's it. Feel free to chime in if your agree or if you think I'm dead wrong.
