Yes, a knave is a scoundrel. And, I'm sure that by the standards of many cooking enthusiasts, my cooking approach is scandalous. I've been cooking since the age of six. I made pancakes for my dad, uncle, and sister while mom was in the hospital. They were beautiful, fluffy, golden brown, and they made our dogs lay in the yard with bloated stomachs all day. I now have a better understanding of baking soda and how much is too much!
So began my interest in cooking and especially baking. My disclaimer is that due to some flaw in my personality, I never have been able to grasp the chemistry and mechanics behind cooking in a conscious articulate way. Yet, I continue to experiment and alter just about every recipe that I try. I also have a great propensity for throwing things together. Usually, these "thrown together" creations are some of my most delicious culinary accomplishments. Unfortunately, I often forget what I have done or can't reproduce the exact measurements because there weren't any in the first place.
So let's use this blog to celebrate and tweak our creations! Let's revel in cooking that's not based in science but in intuition. However we get there, it's the end result that matters, and that end result doesn't need to be beautiful but YUMMY!
