Well, I’m annoucing a rededicated section: food. I do a fair deal of cooking, some of it is pretty original or at least done differently than others would. Notice I didn’t say better, just different. Since food is one of my passions, I thought it would be fitting to share it on the blog. Not all that I have is that original. Some of it is just the way I like doing things. Either way, this is my blog, so I will subject you to my whims. Did I mention power is probably my favorite passion?

Allow me to explain how I came to this. I read a lot of food blogs. Well, like a dozen. People give recipes, reviews and relay other things cooking (and not). Strangly enough, it was this post about kitchens that gave me the motivation to start blogging about my own adventures in cooking. I saw a lot of people post pictures of their kitchens and it hit me. These people who’s blogs I read daily, they are just like me. Most of them have no formal culinary training and many of them work out of less ideal kitchens than my own. That’s not to say I am in the same category as these people, because, let’s be honest, I’m not going to be making The Swift-Tuttle Dark Chocolate Espresso Berry Comet Truffle any time soon. However, these bloggers are mere mortals, not those people on food tv who have unlimited budgets and means with which to create. I can be one of former people (and maybe eventually one of the latter).

I haven’t made up my mind exactly what all I am going to be putting on the web about my cooking. A lot of trial and error. A lot of error. So, so much horrible error. Oh the humanity of the error. But once in a blue moon, I hit something right. I will try to share the errors with you as much as my pride will let me, but hopefully I will not lose steam to at least get my hits up here.

If there is any site that has had the biggest impact on my cooking in the last year or so, it would have to be Cooking For Engineers. The author of that blog and I are very similarly minded it seems. His recipe grid is the most logical method I have seen to represent recipes.
