All about Meg
Megnut.com is a website. Started in 1999 as an all-purpose blog, its focused switched entirely to food in May, 2006. After I gave birth to my son Ollie in July, 2007, I kind of stopped blogging. I didn't mean to, it's just that I didn't feel like writing about food much, and since the site was supposed to be about food I didn't have much to say. Now that's fixed, as the site is back to being about whatever strikes my fancy. You can expect food, photos, travel bits, child-rearing (but it's not going to become a mommy-blog), life in New York City, architecture and sustainability, and...well, that's enough for now, isn't it?
I'm kind of a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM?) these days. I have worked in a variety of jobs -- in a past life I was an internet entrepreneuer and co-founder of Pyra Labs, the company that produced Blogger. Pyra was acquired by Google in 2003. I started another company with Nick Denton in 2002 called Kinja (now defunct) with the goal of making it easier to read weblogs. In 2004 I left Kinja and spent some time cooking in a restaurant on Nantucket Island, in Massachusetts. I currently live in New York City with my husband Jason, my son Ollie, and my cat Bodhi. I shop as much as possible at the Union Square Greenmarket.
About this site
Megnut.com is powered by Movable Type 3.3 (? maybe, maybe another version!). Technical support is provided by the handsome folks at Apperceptive who I highly recommend for all your technical needs. Original design is by Jason Kottke and then messed up by me as time goes on. All content © Meg Hourihan except for guest blogging posts and reader emails, which are © their original authors.

Now to answer some made up questions!
Where'd the old stuff go that wasn't food related?
I moved all the older content to a new website, meg.hourihan.com. Then I realized that was dumb, so I'll be importing it all back into this blog (wha? If that doesn't make sense, don't worry, it's not really important.) More or less everything I've ever blogged (except for four months of content from 2001 in a text file on my hard drive) will be found here, should you care to read it.
If you had to eat only one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Front runner: soft-boiled eggs, my current obsession. Alternate choices: potato pancakes, a perfect BLT, fresh corn on the cob and strawberries from my grandpa's garden.
what is megnut?
Megnut is a blog about whatever interests its author, Meg Hourihan. For a while it was focused solely on food, but no longer. Now it's about food, New York City, travel, kids, and anything else that happens to come up. More...
I post throughout the day over at Twitter with little bits of randomness.

There are currently no active conversations. There might not be for a while, don't know if I'll be using comments much. We shall see.
