First things first

I am not a professional chef. I have no formal training. I do many things incorrectly. I make many horrible mistakes when I cook. Sometimes food turns out soggy or burnt. Meat loaf falls apart, tacos walk of the plate, the sky turns black and and the stars crumble. But I love to cook. I don't like to use "recipes". Instead, I sort of get an idea of what I think the finished meal should be, and then start making things up. I don't measure things, always eyeball it. When things turn out lousy its a bummer, but more often than not the food I make is better than passable, and on the rare occasion the meal turns out amazing, and when it does, it advocates for another dinner experiment the next day.

This blog is not intended as a resource for recipes. I will list the ingredients I used in the meal. I will try and describe the methods of cooking used. I will not offer any specific measurements of ingredients, simply because I will not remember, because I won't have been paying attention.

The purpose of this publication is to hopefully inspire you to recklessly experiment with food in your home, by sharing with you my successes and failures.
