If anyone asks, well I'll take the blame

And so it begins.

I'm starting this blog with Bonnie because there is too much food - in this city and in general - for two stomachs to tackle. Every week, we inundate one another's inboxes with news of restaurants we just have to try out, things we've eaten, things we want to eat, recipes, grocery stores, specialty shops, cafes... There is not enough space in my head (or my stomach) for each and every one.

We have been discussing the idea of starting a blog for a few months, to act as a clearing house for our restaurant list, a shared place where we can post links and reviews. During that time our ideas for the blog have grown. It will probably include recipes, general food rants and perhaps a few photos if I feel ambitious (or that my photography skills are in any way improving). But too many restaurants fell by the wayside while we were plotting and I'm putting my foot down now.

So, ladies and gentlemen, imaginary friends all: welcome to Texpats, Bonnie and Hilary's space-o-food.
