I'm finally like everyone else...

...Because I've made a blog.

However, I'm going to try to not fill it with just the inane happenings of my days or my deeper thoughts on "the issues," because if those things aren't even entertaining to myself, why should I expect anyone else to derive enjoyment out of them? Sure, sometimes I'll talk about stuff going on in my life, but I'd rather it not be my main topic. At least, not for now.

So instead, I've turned to something universal, and something with which I'm fairly well-acquainted: food! Not only is it one of the few ubiquitous human experiences, but it is about as infinitely variable as a thing can get. Perhaps that's the draw to food for me. Dishes can be as elaborate or as simple as you desire, and both have their benefits. Food fits any mood or celebration, and any time of day.

Plus, it tastes really, really good. Most of the time. Hopefully.

In any case, I've made this mostly as a way to channel my culinary creativity, as well as to provide a log of things I have made and plan to make. I already know that I'll enjoy it, and if someone else happens to get something out of it, then that's just fine with me.

In fact, if there's anything in particular you've ever wanted to learn about a particular food or technique, I'm more than willing to be a guinea pig and try it out. Just let me know what it is, and I'll gladly research/buy/bake it. Om nom nom.
