As a undergrad, I lived in the campus cafeteria. I was "Bruffin' It" at least 2-3 times each day on my unlimited meal plan. As a grad student, my dietary life progressed to cooking... or at least microwaving... most of my meals. Don't get me wrong, I know how to cook. I was baking cakes and cookies from the time I was in middle school. I roast a mean turkey, filled with homemade stuffing and with the best mashed potatoes you will ever taste. I can make some beautiful meals.
Yet I rarely do.
I am in a culinary rut. A creative night involves a new combination of seasonings on my steak, or having green beans instead of brussels sprouts. Yup. I'm in a rut.
This starts as a challenge to myself. I want to cook more. I enjoy my time in the kitchen, yet rarely provide myself the opportunity to truly enjoy my time there. I want.. perhaps NEED... to cook more. The goal is to try at least one new recipe per week... but I hate to limit this to just one recipe per week. So here you'll see what I eat. You'll see what I drink. You'll know if I enjoy it. You'll know if I add too much salt or not enough sugar. Hopefully, at the end of a year, I'll be that much better in the kitchen.
And you know what they say about good cooks... :)
