Like most of my cooking, this blog is an experiment. I've never been much of a taker of photos, but I have this shiny red camera that just needs to be used. So, there will be pictures. As far as the cooking goes, my mom and grandma taught me the basics; cooking for someone is a way to say I love you in my family. What they didn't teach me I've learned through trial and many, many errors.
I'm not always a particularly creative person, but cooking is a way for me to get to exercise that part of my brain. My favorite way to cook is to get inspired by something and then let creativity run its course. Inspiration can be a particularly tempting tomato at the farmer's market, something I see one of my favorites like Alton or Ina or Tyler on tv do, or a yearning for home and times gone by that I can reminisce about with a fork. Then, either I whip up something based on tried-and-true recipes, or I turn to the interwebs. I'll google a recipe, read six or seven or eight or nine of them, and then just mash them together into a new one based on what I have on hand, can find at the rather limited grocery stores nearby, or just from what I know I like. The results are usually edible, but sometimes they are food for the disposal. I'll share them both, hopefully for your enjoyment, or at least your amusement. Enjoy!
