About

A little about me…..

Hello my name is Meseidy (Me-say-dee). I love photography and I love food. I started The Noshery so I would have a reason to combine both. I am selft taught in both cooking and photography. I love to cook and my husband Obed (O-bed) loves to be my tastetester. We are the couple with odd names. We moved to Tulsa, OK January 2009 from Florida but we are both originally from “La Isla del Encanto” Puerto Rico. You will find a lot of traditional Puerto Rican recipes here, but my philosophy is that there are no borders when it comes to cooking. The flavor profiles I lean most towards are Asian, Spanish, Italian and of course Carribbean. When I move to a new area the first thing I do is check out the local grocery stores and farmers markets to figure out where I can get the best ingredients and freshest produce. I am known to go to the grocery store almost daily. I love to entertain and cook for friends and family. It is my outlet for creativity and stress relief.

This blog will be about everyday joys and frustrations, my cooking accomplishments and disasters and my photography.  The images on this blog are my own photography.   I shoot with a Canon 40 D and am eagerly trying to develop my skills.  I welcome comments, feedback and tips.

So here we go!

The name…

I have been asked several times what does ”noshery” mean and where did it come from.

Noshery comes from the word nosh.

Nosh:

Origin: Yiddish nashn, from Middle High German naschen to eat on the sly
: to eat a snack : munch <noshing on pizza>

The suffix -ery:
:place of doing, keeping, producing, or selling (the thing specified) <fishery> <bakery> <eatery>

If you put it all together it means a place to snack or a place to munch at.   I hope that this blog is a place that you return to again and again to find something to nosh on.
