Okay, so maybe having a food blog is not the most inspired idea. After looking at several others, mostly those linked on Saveur or tastespotting.com. In order to be good, I have to be really good. And inspired and on top of things. I need to do regular upkeep of this site. It is not that I haven’t been cooking. Au contraire, I have immensely improved my bread recipe (and I spend way too much time eating bread now), made a cajun pot pie with the leftover turkey, prepped a lemon cake, spent too much time on some pork enchiladas, made stale herbed bread useful again as yummy breadcrumbs, and basically tired not to leave the house due to all the snow we had. But alas, it is go-back-to-work time and all that time off did not magically have work done for me. How disappointed I was to come back to the office and find it the same as when I left.
To the point, I am quite busy with work (and when I am not, I should be), but I will try to update this better. I am learning a bit about webpage design, so hopefully I will garner enough knowledge to help this site I have here. At the moment I am not at home and do not have my camera or all the photos I have taken, so I will not attempt to make a new food post yet. But know this, I will make this better. I may not have any fresh herbs (I am a terribly lazy gardener), or be able to afford Vietnamese cinnamon, or have access to much in the way of seafood, but I can make realistic food with comments about technique that I would hope will aid anyone who wished to try one of my recipes. Allow me to leave you with my pot roast recipe (just click on the link for a pdf recipe).
I love this with my artisanal peasant loaf! Sorry I don’t have any pictures.
