Twizzling Whimsies is a blog that I started in 2009 in order to push myself to write on a more regular basis (although one could question how effective this has been, judging by some pretty significant gaps between some of my posts…). But, the good intention is there! I want to write regularly!
When I do find some time to write, the blog mostly focuses on cooking, since that’s one of my main hobbies, but it also includes entries about seemingly arbitrary, random subjects – books I’m currently reading, projects I’m currently working on or thinking about starting, and general life in my new hometown of Tucson, AZ. I’m now a desert dweller, and so many strange things come along with that… javelinas and scorpions anyone?
You might wonder why this blog is called “Twizzling Whimsies”. Frankly it’s somewhat nonsensical. Have you heard of the Twizzle? It’s an obscure dance that was once featured on The Dick Van Dyke Show (look it up – it’s bound to cause a good laugh). Let’s just say I took a liking to the Twizzle. In addition to the Twizzle, I also love all things whimsical and strange. As a person, I don’t really consider myself to be particularly whimsical, but every now and then I can be crazy, so maybe that’s close enough.
