Because this is my blog and I can, and I don't even need an intro if I don't want one. The headline says it all.

Magazines and Piroulines: Coming full circle
When I started this blog, I named it for my two ambitions in
life—magazines, the industry I planned to work in, and piroulines, an edible
symbol of my hope to connect food back to my line of work. And through Magazines and Piroulines, I'd share some words on my food adventures whenever I'd feel like it.
The last time I was blogging semi-actively, however (let’s
be honest, I don’t keep up with this thing regularly at all, as it’s primarily an
outlet for personal reflection and expression), I was pursuing neither of those
things. Replace magazine with burgeoning digital news outlet, and food with
social media/tech, and you’d have a more accurate fit.
But I was certainly living out a new adventure nonetheless.
Just living in a new city—and New York City, at that—meant endless
opportunities for food discoveries. By the end of that summer, I was convinced my life path
wouldn’t lead me to a career in magazines. Nor did that worry me. I foresaw myself
working in the digital sphere, but a job opportunity came a’knockin’ (web
editor for a magazine group—perfect, huh?), and now things have come full
circle.
As a web editor for a handful of lifestyle magazines in
South Florida, I have the luxury of eating my way through the newest
restaurants in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach—a luxury I don’t spend one
day feeling ungrateful for.
So, a blog about food and magazines. Sounds about right to me.
This blog is all about my food adventures—which have taken me to Israel, Italy and all around NYC—but most of them happen right here at home in South Florida, my favorite place to discover a new market, hole-in-the-wall or high-end eatery.
