NOT A PROFILE

Naturally I am curious about the people who read my little essays. Unfortunately, other than the few that I am lucky enough to also know in real life, I can't guess what my readers are like, or what they are thinking.
Some of them are undoubtedly interested in food.
A few share my liberal worldview.
One or two visit daily

LINGERING PLUM FRAGRANCE

Given that this has been visited every day for well over half a year, some people are forwarding the link. They're probably Chinese, because almost no one else would be interested.

Fairly frequent guests, San Francisco residents.

DESPOTIC SALTED DUCK EGG
April 19, 2019
It's about a Chinese food stuff. Maybe some people are looking to add something interesting to their diet? It's absolutely delicious, in any case.

JUST FILLED WITH GOODNESS. AND SWEET CREAM.
June 19, 2019
Readers with a keen interest in the delightful things available at local bakeries. This post is about food. Snackipoos.


There is probably considerable overlap of reader-types, but the Venn diagram is difficult to picture. Without further data, not worth attempting.

Maybe most bloggers wish to appeal to people like them. But that would be difficult and no fun at all. I am a Dutch American, middle aged, and in many ways not a person that I would like to know. Catering to someone like me would be dreary. Too stubborn, too opinionated, too smelly (tobacco).
There is, boringly, already more than enough of me in my life.

There are food posts; I like to cook. And eat.
There are pipe-related posts; I smoke.
There are 'political' posts; I bitch.
It's a window and a soapbox.



Pet peeves: quack science, food neuroses, Christians, right-wingers.
Oh and fruity cocktails, but I hardly ever talk about those.
