Introduction

by Gillian Polack

I should have introduced myself first post. Some of you already know me. For this you have my deep sympathy.

I am Gillian Polack. When I’m not blogging about food history, I’m blogging about my life and writing and teaching ( http://gillpolack.livejournal.com ) or I’m writing and teaching and stuff ( http://www.gillianpolack.com ). Sometimes the writing and teaching are about history (bits of me are an historian - my little finger and my eyelashes and my teeth, perhaps) and sometimes it’s fiction (other bits of my belong to the fiction writer - all the most obscure bits, I suspect). I’m Australian and live in Canberra.

I never know what people need from an introduction, so I’ll leave it there. If there’s anything you want to know about me, ask. If it doesn’t involve standing on my head for an hour and admiring the world upside-down, I will probably answer. Answering questions is *so* much easier than working out how I should introduce myself.
