OUR SISTER PAIGE’S FAVORITE CITY IN THE WORLD IS PARIS. She went there for the first time at 13, and fell in love. She hasn’t had chance for travel much of anywhere lately, though, so her Francophilia has mostly been fulfilled, you guessed it, by blogs…food blogs. Would you like to join Paige’s armchair voyages? You can almost taste the butter, smell the Gitanes, and hear the symphony of urban sounds a la français. And did we mention, bon appétit? Read on.

BRRR. BLECCH. IT’S FEBRUARY, SAYS SISTER PAIGE. In college, this meant something called “Feb Club,” an organized party every single night of the year’s bleakest, longest-feeling month. In real life, this means an escape from the winter blues comes through cooking and reading. Thanks to the net, Paige has found an incredible web of foodie blogging sisters and brothers whose recipes and reminiscences spirit her away to places much brighter and warmer. Come away with her to visit bloggers whose words and pictures are an escape as good as any exotic vacation, and a lot easier to come by.
MUCH LIKE A PARTY at her house, Sister Marion says, the party in her mouth only goes well when some forethought is given to who sits next to whom. Chocolate and peanut butter? She hates ‘em as a couple; loves ‘em alone, which is the same damn thing she frequently hears herself say about many of her friends. Marion offers some favorite odd-combo recipes, and then asks this: Got a food combo that rocks your ‘buds, or one you can’t abide? What’s going on in your sorority, sister?
REDHEADS IN THE KITCHEN could be what Milton had in mind when he coined the phrase “adding fuel to the flame,” says Sister Marion. Inviting a redhead into the kitchen certainly does add heat and color to the place, says Marion, who has rounded up her favorite cooks who share her flambe hair color. They’re all right here.
BESIDES THE GREAT RECIPES and how-to, the welcoming sisterhood and brotherhood of passionate cooks Sister Paige has met the last three years in the food blogosphere provide light at the end of the paper tunnel–that heap of cookbooks and magazines that’s threatening to take over her entire house (just ask her husband). Meet Paige’s latest culinary muses.
First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
