PLAYING WITH FOOD
Terry Buchanan
I'm Terry (Terry the Terror, as my mother used to call me.) That's two-year-old me eating mudpies in the photo. I'm obsessed with food, cooking, feeding others, and nurturing in all manner of ways. Come back every week for something new to eat, whatever I'm feeling at the moment, and published each Wednesday in The Weekly. Check us out. When you're done eating.
