Intro

A really old picture in which I am probably cooking

Hello, friends!

(As I assume the only people who will frequent this blog are already my friends)

Welcome to my food blog!

It's not so much that I think I'm just that darn good at cooking.  My meals are not particularly creative or original.  Nor do I think the internet needs another cooking blog.  It's more a matter of convenience.  I would love to be able to access my recipes quickly, easily, and anywhere, and to share them with friends without having to write stuff down.  Sending recipes along later generally turns into never for me.  Perhaps a blog can help.



I have wonderful intentions of photographs to accompany recipes, but know that that's likely to fall through most of the time.  We shall see!

An even older picture in which I am definitely cooking.  This girl can stuff a pumpkin!  Yes, you too could be this happy if you follow the recipes here.

A much more recent picture in which I brave the springtime forests to strangle you a wild turkey for dinner.

La mia famiglia.  Actually, my brother's Sardinian host family, farmers and cheesemakers pictured in their home cantina with some horrid foodie tourists.  I got recipes for prosciutto, pancetta, limonchello, and aquavita off of this family.  I also got some tips on when your specialty, black-market maggot-filled cheese is ready (there are little flies hopping all over it)  Serious foodie street cred! 

Recipes will be entered in no particular order.  I'll try to tag them so they're easy to search with keywords like main, gluten-free, or vegetarian-friendly, where applicable.  Be prepared that vegetarian-friendly listings may contain chicken broth, because I like chicken broth better than veggie broth, or even bacon, because it's damn tasty.  It's not because I think bacon is a vegetable, it's because I assume you're smart enough to switch out broths and omit the piggy on your own.  Cooking is all about making it work for you and your family, anyway.

Hope you enjoy!


PS: I may be almost 30 with an advanced degree, but I still can't spell, so go easy on me when I make mistakes.
