Introduction

So, the question for today is why a food blog?  

I will come right out and say that there little chance that I will blow your mind with new recipes.  I am not a professional chef, I am however a foodie who search for the best recipes and methods like monks search the bible.  I apply my weird love of food to help me live well.  I have been poor for much of my adult life and have always eaten well.

There is a method to my madness.  Many people can only work from recipes and have very little flexibility in planning their weekly meals.  With food prices increasing, flexibility will become the name of the game.  I am here to explore that game as one topic of this blog.

Food is life, it is the sensory rhetoric of our childhood, our greatest moments, and failures.  Most people can name "that meal" they want on special occasion, that cookie that reminds them of love, or that meal that reminds them of the dark moments when the world could not get any worst.  The relationship between food and life is another topic of this blog.

Finally, food is taste, it is experience.  Poor people, like myself, travel with our taste buds.  I have never physically traveled to far away exotic lands but my tongue has tried.  The experience of flavor, the amazing phenomena of imagination that goes into combining raw ingredients.  The experience of food is another topic of this blog.

It is my hope that sharing together will make you hungry... to play the game, live life, and experience food.
