Thanks

Gastronomic Guesswork ... yah this is my blog, my culinary journal, the record of my successes and failures in the kitchen ... 97 posts, 50 Recipes so far ... a good ratio I think ... So I'm still figuring out what this blogging thing is all about. This blog has thus far been about cooking adventures, frequent experimentation, some interesting things going on in the culinary world, and a few rants. After a little over 6 months, I've accumulated 50 recipes ... When I think about it, I'm kind of proud to have put out that many different things ... not everything has been completely successful, but there's some really good food in there ... the remarkable / lucky part of this is that most of these are inspired things I haven't cooked before, more often than not these are just conceived on my feet at the store ... the inspirations come from all manner of media: blogs, magazines, books, tv, a memory ... sometimes there's a spin on something else I've seen, sometimes I'm dancing on the wire without a net ... all of it though is a labor of love, I like cooking and learning about cooking, and really like entertaining friends and family ... anyway, thanks to all you (friends, family, the curious gastronomes, and the simply curious) for reading! ... with a couple new mandolines in hand, I'm looking forward to lots more gastronomic guesswork.
