Why Food?

I'm a simple girl, perhaps my husband would disagree with that statement.  Ok, scratch that... I know what I like, especially when it comes to food.  I love watching other people cook and coming up with ideas of how I can change their creation to suite my own palate.  Call me the Dr. Frankenstein of the kitchen if you would.

Many times I find myself watching the Food Network or looking through various foodie magazines and thinking to myself, "That looks good, but if I did this it could be better..." .  This is often how my madness begins. 

Todd (the afore mentioned husband) will tell you that my need to experiment is quickly leading to the demise of his waist line.  My son is growing up with an extremely healthy palate because I enjoy creating.  Food doesn't talk back or yell at you. (With the exception of the occassional boil over or indegestion)  Food lets you mold it into whatever you want.  Food satisfies a basic need.  For me that need isn't only sustenance, it's my sanity.

This blog will be my sharing of experiments with you-  Most of the time they will be successful experiments... but as with any experiment you're always going to have a dudd or two.  I'll post those so that you can learn with me- or suggest ways to improve.

I hope you enjoy as much as I do!
