PLAYING WITH FOOD

Terry Buchanan Gormley

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 New Castle Weekly. Check us out. When you're done eating.
