Can't put it much clearer than that....
One thing that can be safely said about human beings, no matter where they live, no matter what the color of their skin, no matter what their religion, no matter what, people love to eat. I, being a human being, am no different. The thing about me, I guess, is that I tend to obsess a bit more about it than most. I love to think about food, love to cook food, love to talk about food. Most of all, I love to eat food.
Now I am trying to do something new for me. I am going to try my hand at writing about food. This I will attempt to do about three times a week. We'll see how it goes...
Something I guess I should say from the outset is that I ain't no gourmet cook. I tend to be a bit more along the lines of your professional hash slinger type. I worked for years in various kitchens. Most of 'em were cramped, greasy, understaffed, and hot as hell. We worked our sorry butts off and still managed to have a good time in the process. We served a lot of good grub to a lot of hungry folks. It's places like that where I learned to cook.
I find that my kitchen at home is not to different from what has been described above. Not enough counter space, understaffed (especially at the dish pit), poorly lit, half the equipment don't work right, and gets real hot real quick. But we turn out good grub. We eat well in this house, and I'm damn proud of that.
But enough rambling. In my next post, I shall endeavor to post a recipe.
Till then, steer clear of funky lookin' mushrooms!
