...Is Through Their Stomach

I love to cook.  I am by no means a chef but it feeds my "mini-martha" soul (minus the prison part).  I get to be creative, experiment and most importantly, please and impress those who get to imbibe/munch on the fruits of my labor.  There are a number of awesome perks that come with being a grown-up, in this case, the relevant perk is having graduated from my Easy Bake Oven to a real oven, real knives, real ingredients, really my own, REAL kitchen that I get to play house in!  I have a day job and other hobbies of course, but I find cooking fun, meditative and an outlet.  If I've had a lousy day I'll bake to sweeten things up.  If I'm in the mood to feel sexy I'll make something with a lot of spice.  This blog is a record of my exploits in the kitchen, what works, what doesn't and the recipes I like most, so I can look back and re-make some, toss others and record some of the best moments in life, when my new family (I got married on 10/10/10) can sit down together, share some laughs, life and good (or possibly bad) food.
