Introduction As when I first started this blog in 2007, I continue to post new recipes I've cooked, new ingredients I've tried, and new techniques I've learned. I don't always cook straight from other people's recipes; my everyday cooking usually involves me throwing something together from whatever is available in the house (from my "own" recipes). However, at least once a week, I like to try something new. That's my focus here. As I wrote in my first post, I started this blog because I needed "to have some goals, to try something new, to have an outlet for my stress & frustration, to feel creative, to do something worthwhile." For me, cooking is a creative outlet, a cheap form of therapy, a learning experience, and a necessity for living the good life. After all, as Virginia Woolf once wrote, "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." So, let me live, love, EAT, & say it well in good sentences.
