Food for Thought

It's day three of the blog, and I'm hoping you are enjoying reading about my culinary adventures. Please understand that this blog is not an online cookbook. In no way do I consider myself a chef. As much as I would love to be Anthony Bourdain, it's just not gonna happen. Still, I  love to cook, and want to chronicle my day to day meals even as I know that now and then I make a bummer dinner, and I want to be honest when that happens.


I hope that you find enough interest in a meal or two on this blog to try yourself. If the brilliant Pixar film "Ratatouille" taught us anything, it's that anyone can cook. Most of these recipes I share here are easy, and don't contain any crazy hard to find ingredients (so far). I hope to convey the excitement I feel everyday around 5:30 as I put a record on the turntable, pour myself a glass of vino and start my meal prep. Cooking for me is a therapeutic and spiritual experience.

Cooking is an extension of yourself and is an extremely personal thing to share with people. Making and serving a meal to friends can be an incredibly venerable feeling.  When I know I have missed the mark with a dish it is humiliating, but the joy of creating a meal that will sustain someone for a few hours and please the pallet (and spirit) keeps me going and fuels my search for that perfect recipe.

Look for last nights dinner post in a few hours.
