It's been a while...(3 years).
Trials, tribulations, surgeries, doctors on wild goose chases.
I am trying to find some normalcy in the chaos. Shooting for one or two days a week of cooking. Tired of food delivery services.
They can say what they want about restaurants are hurting. I have not seen that here. If they are hurting, it's because they either priced themselves out of business, by trying to be all fancy and pretentious or they serve crap food, along with the crap service.
What do normal folks want as far as food goes? Something homey? Something that reminds them of home? Something that comforts in this time of need? Something that is realistic to cook at home? Something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to buy, will taste good and be filling, plus have leftovers to take to work or turn into another meal later on?
Here's a few pictures of things I have tried or actually cooked this year. Warning: if you don't like gravy, you won't like the pics. I have not had enough gravy in my life in the last few years, so I am making up for lost time...I mean, gravy.
I will be posting recipes and maybe steps for the obvious things... tips on what to look for when you are buying things. But if you are reading this, you have access to the internet. If you have cooking skills and understand recipes, you can figure out things on your own... using examples of other recipes. Take what works in your own mind from each recipe, if one doesn't work... combine what does. If you are scared to try to cook, don't be, risk and failure are both excellent teachers. There are lots of blogs, videos... so many step by step things out there on the world wide web, you really cannot fail. And remember, the best method, especially in the beginning is the K.I.S.S. method. Keep It Simple Stupid or you can use Silly or whatever "S" word works for you. Keep it simple is still the first rule. Accomplish that bit... go to the next comfortable level.
Thanks to all who have actually looked at this blog. I sincerely hope it inspired you or maybe helped bring back a fond food memory.
