Why another food blog?

I rarely follow recipes, though I often start with them. My hope is that this blog be a place where I can record a journal of what I've tried and what did or did not work, and thoughts of what I might "want to try next time". I also want to be able to share my notes with other foodies as well as field requests for "could you send me the recipe for that".

My culinary approach:

• Cook what I can from scratch -- at least once
• When presented with options, choose healthful, local, and organic. 
• Tradeoffs happen
• I like to pick one ingredient a month and experiment with it anywhere I think I can get away with

Biases: 

• Not a fan of corn syrup, partial wheat flour, processed stuff
• Big into roasted veggies
• Have a hard time doing something the same way twice

Well enough prose, on to the food poetry...
