Dinner Tonight

So if you read this blog, you'll see that I've become very lax at posting. With the new job, new house, ect I really haven't had the energy into writing up recipes. I think the thing that really pulls me away from this and in another direction is having to think about the amounts that need to be added, when to add them, and so on. When I cook, I just add a little of something here and there. I decided today that I'm going to write like I cook: a little messy and loose, but very intentional. To me cooking is an art, not a science experiment. I envision how something will taste, and then I do my best to recreate what I carry in my imagination. Though I always wish that this was a talent that I had when it came to painting or music, I will not belittle the art-form of cooking by saying that it does not compare artistically. As I've said before (and will probably repeat many times over) cooking is an art of the senses. What other art can give you sight, sound, taste, smell, and tough all in one?

Now that I've had my little soliloquy, it's time to post TWO new "recipes," (the way I want to do it - for people who already know how to cook!) Here is dinner for the past two nights.
