First Post

As this is the first post, I'll lay some ground rules:

1. Cooking should involve real ingredients, which can usually be substituted for other real ingredients.

2. Most of us have to follow someone else's directions in our jobs, so we should be able to do whatever we want when we cook.

3. Cooking with what's available and in season is easier, cheaper, and more adventurous.

4. Using leftovers in a meal can actually make it taste better and requires less shopping.

5. Although it is possible to cook most foods without a recipe or measuring, baking can be another story.


And now onto the food . . .
