I Eat Therefore I Cook!
My inaugural post and I am at a loss for words. Let's pretend for a moment that this blog is far more then it actually is, a place for me to talk to myself about food. I will pretend for the purpose of this momentous post that it is something far more noble and at the same time humble, it is for my children. A message board about about how I cook and eat and why I have such a hard time going to a restaurant unless it's just exceptional.
For me food matters. Not just as a sustenance for the body but nourishment for the soul. Food as allegory for life. Or if you prefer, for no other reason but pure pretense life as allegory for food. No matter, I take food seriously but with a grain of salt. I temper my culinary musing with a pinch of passion and a pound of fun. For me cooking is not just about eating it is about creativity. It is sharing an idea with those you love in the most intimate of ways.
The Joy of Cooking is about pure adulation and the joy of cooking is about the trust your dinners place when they bring fork to mouth and step into the unknown at your request. The exhilaration, the sublime, the divine the use of all our senses at once the shared experience. The glow of triumph and the bitter taste of failure. Few things bring us together like food.
I hope I've peppered this opening post with enough well thought out literary seasoning to make it worthy of the title.
