This blog will mainly be to chronicle my forays into cooking. I've always been good at baking (thank you Mimi!), but frankly, the im-preciseness of cooking scared me a bit. I've grown to love *good* food over the years, and for a while, made a damned good sous chef. ;) However, I've recently started to branch out on my own, and will share my recipes, tips, triumphs, and failures here. To kick things off, I'm going to start with a few morsels:
--NOTHING gives you a rich flavor like real butter. Margarine, while a "substitute", will NOT give you the same flavor as honest-to-goodness butter.
--I am a carnivore. If you are vegetarian or vegan, I may not mock you a la Anthony Bourdain, but we may not be the best of friends.
--Sushi is <3.
--Personal food heroes include Alton Brown, Anthony Bourdain, and Ree Drummond.
--I could spend an obscene amount of time and money in Wegman's
--I don't understand molecular gastronomy. If I want a steak, I want a freakin' STEAK...not some "beef reduction in agar-agar gel". WTF people?
--More to come as I think of it. Feel free to sound off in the comments! :)
Ohai :)
