This is my homey blog, where I can share recipes I create during fits of domestic crativity, along with wines I find delicious. I’ll also blab about decorating, gardening and how much I loathe cleaning my house. (but love it when it’s clean!)

I love to eat. Food is a heavenly joy which is WAY overlooked in modern society. We think fancy food is for snobs and fat people. But the opposite psychology is what make eating tasty food good for your health and spirit. Most Americans, for example, use food as a drug. We’ve been encouraged to do this by the fast food culture, which feeds us the most addictive substances possible, aside from tobacco and heroin. Salt and Fat and Sugar are addictive, yes. But when food is balanced in flavor, including reasonable amounts of those addictive substances, it creates a harmonious experience for us which is TRULY satisfying. It feeds our soul instead of just our hunger.

But I hate overeating. I don’t know how people do it.

I love to cook! Yet I hardly ever use a cookbook. I’ve learned the basic structure and chemistry of cooking over the years, and of course I’ve used cookbooks a lot. But these days, I prefer to create something off the top of my head most of the time. Often it involved opening the fridge and using what is there.

I’ll be posting a lot of my creative recipes here. I hope you’ll share yours with me.
