I've tried blogging a few times... what makes a successful blog? is it being read? Or just being relieved to have vented what one would do in a journal? Either way... by the end of those past I don't think the writings lived up to potential.. .. hm. This is a horrible way to introduce what I intend to do here.
Let me start over..
The only thing I really do religiously now is cook. I cook six days a week and i like to capture my successes ...and sometimes failures through photos. Even though I am a photographer, I can easily reach out and grab a snap shot from my phone... more than that.. its just too much effort to do daily ...that with a baby, a husband, job, home, sanity, etc., to maintain. I think reasons my past writings have eventually dwindled is because some things come and go. But feeding, ie taking care of my family well - will never be a fleeting past time.
I won't claim to be a chef...or anything like that.. in fact i hope in time people like me can add their own recipes to this. I want an open forum of using good food well.
I live in the Hudson Valley, NY ... its a great place for local foods (I am new to the area but not the concept) ..we live on a tight budget like many and I try to make food stretch. Our baby, I'll call her M, is just about nine months old and I've made it my mission to expose her to a world of tastes (I secretly dream of gardening alongside her tiny hands and seeing them grow...maybe into a revolutionary chef!.. I live vicariously through the possibilities of my child now) ..I try to on night one cook a really great meal, night two, do something cool with the leftovers, all the while feeding my babe bits and pieces of what is on the table.
If I was stranded on an island... I would be content if I had cheese, bread, garlic, and wine. I think that sums me up. I hope to learn more about you. Cheers.
