So I've been MIA from cookingwith, and for that I feel bad. The single greatest adventure in my life has been through cooking, and I had all the intentions in th world to share that via this site, but alas, as usual, life gets in the way, and it takes a boink on the head to get me steered in the right direction. The boink on the head this time was a proverbial smack to the head with a frying pan. A cast iron one at that. There is something completely primal yet soothing in cooking in a caste iron skillet, preferably with a wooden spoon. It just feels right. Regarding the site, I have big plans, and now that I've gotten off my keyboard and actually posted to the site, perhaps I'll start implementing those plans. A new look is right up there on the list, as well as retro fitting posts with ingredients outlines- feedback from one of my 2 readers, (albeit lo-tech, that is, he told me in person) asked for more of a traditional recipe format. I'm not keen on dropping the narrative, but perhaps a printable, outline at the end will be the result.
Obviously, more dinner ideas is number one, and that will happen sooner than the design overhaul. So if there's something you've always wanted to make, and aren't quite sure how, use my contact form and let me know. Or, you can tell me in person. :)
And if you love your skillet like I do, and want a fun read on food, cooking, and life, you might want to look at
