About

After a reading other people’s food blogs for a couple of years, I decided to create my own in early 2007. After several contenders, the alliterative Roasting Rambler won out and I’ve been writing about my experimentation with recipes ever since. I like trying new recipes, but I often get stuck on a particular item of food (pizza, oatmeal, french toast) and then I play around with variations for weeks until I’m either happy or so exasperated that I give up.

My friends and coworkers are my (usually) willing guinea pigs. This site is my record of successes and occasional failures (if I don’t like it, but others do, it may end up on the site, but won’t be made by me again). You can also find me writing a food column on InsiderIowa.com.

 I hope you enjoy the photos and the recipes.
