About

My name is John Idstrom and Meezenplace is my blog.  The title is misspelled on purpose.  It’s my twist on the french cooking term “mise en place” which refers specifically to getting your cooking area prepped and organized.  For me it has a broader meaning, which may be revealed as time goes by.  At any rate, Meez is my opportunity to get off the interstate and explore a few backroads. Food will be featured –  sometimes prominently, sometimes less so.  But basically its going to be the pyschic stuff I have stored in the attic that I just can’t bear to part with.  “Ready, fire, aim” will be my motto.  Sit down and hang on.  Just don’t shut up.
