Introducing….Adrian It has been too long. I have gone too long without being more than a bit player in Guiltykitchen.com. I have watched my lovely wife build Guilty Kitchen from nothing to thousands of hits per month, thousands of followers on Twitter and hundreds of fans on Facebook.

Today, I was going to give you a little history behind me, Guilty Kitchen and the years leading up to my escapades in culinary extremism. You know, a sort of “here’s where I began” kind of post, with lots of pictures of me as a fat high schooler. Oh joy. Instead, I am going
Yup. I’m that Mom. This girl is going to be smothered in so much pink crap that she’ll be mortal enemies with it by the time she’s nine. Or maybe she’ll become as obsessed as I am… Having only had a boy before having this lovely girl, I had already succumbed to the thought that
