And so it begins

Sheena and I have decided to start our food blog. Welcome to the Garlic Knot!

Garlic knots are a Long Island pizza place specialty: little knots of pizza dough slathered in parmesan and garlic and baked. They are wonderful, and you can't find them outside of the New York area. We are both Long Island expats and wanted a name for the blog that would somehow reflect our vision of who we are and what we like to cook, if you will: straightforward food, strong flavors, simple preparation, possibly maybe kinda ethnic at times (depending on your definition of "ethnic"), unpretentious, and fun to eat with your friends. With a strong dose of some transplanted Long Island attitude, of course.

Let the cooking begin!
