so here i am. for the indefinite days ahead, i hope to share with you the food of my life.
i am also self taught/ family taught/ smell taught chef. my mother loves the kitchen, and i suppose it is for her and the infinite home cooked meals with her that i now write you.
quickly realize that by 'food', i mean quality food. and cooking is the art of taking what fresh/ seasonal food you have and making something delicious.
so by trial and error, story telling, bad humor and the occasional opinion, it is my hope that my life as a progressive foodie and self-claimed chef will inspire you too cook well. then with its ease and irresistible tastes create a better place for you and i to live simply by the way we eat and feed others.
to make this fair for the both of us, there are a few warnings i should share. (they apply this point forward)
i will always try to quote the artist/ song and the wine/ beer that i enjoy while writing to you.. but i cannot make any promises. to be in the clear for this go around, it's my "OOoohhh yes" iTunes mix which happens to be playing Mumford & Sons. the drink is a Missouri premium dry red table wine, a forche renault from peaceful bend vineyard.
the recipes are not all my own. i only recently started believing.
i am a St. Louis Cardinals fan. deal with.
are we okay so far?
lastly, i cannot possibly fit more than two guests at my pool house dinner table.. but we can try!
