About the Foodies

Julie and Mary have been friends since they can remember.  They grew up together in Placerville, CA, until Julie and her family moved to Wisconsin in 2nd grade. (Imagine little 2nd grade Mary: "What?  Wisconsin?  Is that in Africa?")  But Julie came back to California to visit every summer and to this day she and Mary remain the best of friends.

Julie has a B.S. in Theater and Speech Education, minor in French Education, from Brigham Young University, Idaho.  She is currently serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 18 months in the Denmark, Copenhagen mission.   She will be sending in monthly updates about the food and culture in Denmark while she is away.

Mary has a B.A. in English, minors in Spanish and Creative Writing, from Southern Virginia University.  She is pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing at California State University, Fresno.  She's a regular poster to the food blog, so you're sure to be sick of her soon.

Both friends love a good book or play, and they both love food.  So they decided to start a blog combining fiction, food, and friendship.  Yeah, that sounds pretty cheesy, but it's true!  Feel free to join them as they go on a potentially disastrous and undoubtedly hilarious adventure of scrumptious proportions.

~~~Guest Foodies!~~~

Anna is a friend of Mary's from SVU.  She is an undergraduate Dietetics major at Brigham Young University, Provo, with a love for food, food science, and health.  She'll be pitching in here about once a month while Julie is away.
