My mother has this great photo of me as a baby, playing with a wooden spoon and a mixing bowl.

This blog is an effort to recount some of my adventures and new-found perspectives.
I'm constantly cooking. Sometimes I revisit favorite recipes, but most often I'm trying something new. Feel free to learn from my successes...as well as my failures:
