Hi, I'm Mell!
I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I’m weird. I’m hilarious. I am fiercely loyal until you suck, then I don’t care, go away. I believe that mayonnaise and crème fraîche are the duct tapes of food. They can fix anything.
You’re probably wondering about the name of this blog. Quick answer: When I was about 2 years old, my mother gave me a permanent. I wandered around like I was breakable, asking everyone if I was “still fluffy?”. The name stuck. Fluff became my nickname. Decades later, you will still hear people (way too many) calling me Fluff. Also, I’m Irish and cuss a lot.
I have always loved to cook, it’s the grocery shopping I hate. God bless Instacart! Even when I was very little I would have my tea parties in the backyard, making gorgeous mud-pie burgers, complete with Jade Plant pickles. When personal circumstances and Global Pandemic made cooking at home a must, I decided it was time to take life’s barrage of lemons and make some limoncello! Literally!
Culinary school, check! Wine school, check! Still learning, still growing. Exploring this planet (mostly via Virtual Reality) one beautiful plate and glass at a time.
Sláinte!
