About the blogger

Hello and goodbye :)

(News)

It's been a pleasure blogging for Orange Coast readers, but it's time for me to say goodbye. The lovely and talented Priscilla Mayfield will take my place, and will do a bang-up job, I'm sure of it. You may know her as the brains behind OC Food Nation, and from her freelance work from The Orange County Register. Her current gig is as the Orange County Cooking Examiner.  Her writing talent is matched only by her voracious love of all things food. We are happy to have her on board!

There are some behind-the-scenes matters to take care of right now, so stay tuned for her posts in the near future. You can reach her at ocfoodblogger@gmail.com. Drop her a line to say hello!

Again, it's been lovely! I still plan to cover the OC food world, and you can always reach me at cynthiafurey@yahoo.com. Happy trails!
