 Bear Edible
 Chatting with Chef Tom

Bearly edible Chef Tom Bearly Edible is a recipe, entertaining and kitchen tips blog. The explosion of blogs and social networking sites has taken the internet to a new dimension over the past few years. It only seemed fitting that there be a community for gay bearish men who love to cook and entertain. The contributors of this site identify themselves as members and friends of the bear community.

You may recall, Chef Tom shared his favorite Sugar Cookie recipe with us for Christmas.

We look forward to many more yummy morsels from his kitchen.

WOOF!

The Interview 


 Bound in Ink
 

Sleeping with Daddy Robert Harmon aka JrBear is the artist known as Bound in Ink. His work was been featured at Bear Albany last November. Another show coming up in April 2008 with the Liberty Bears. He'll be displaying 20-25 pieces. He primarily works in Pen and Ink but, lately has been experimenting with splashes of color with water colors and acrylics.

Most of my inspiration comes from my personal experiences. Some pieces are based on stories that I hear from friends. It's that whole love, life, loss kind of thing.
