Greetings interweb!
I write to you in hopes
that you can help my desire to discuss and view foods made at home or
found on the streets. I've become inspired to cook more, eat more naturally existing foods, and just all around try to eat fresh as much as possible. It's not that I won't be eating a
Big Mac here or there, it's safe to say I will never give up that always
euphoric followed by self deprecating part of my life. But when not mowing
down a cheesy bomb of grease, I'm trying to find other ways to eat well.
We all face time constraints, long days at work make it tough to have
the energy to do much more than turn on the TV and throw something in
the microwave. Frozen pizza? Sure. 3 day old leftovers? Doesn't smell
weird, must be ok. Or maybe just go for the bag of chips.
But
I've found ways to make the time you get home easier to handle. There's
ways to make fresh food that can be used for lunch at work or for that
dinner when you're too lazy to be more than 5 feet from the couch. And
the best part is, after trying to cook more, you might just find that
you like it. Much like going to the gym, reading the news, getting
something done at work, or a new social encounter, cooking well can give
you a great sense of satisfaction and self reliance.
If
you already like cooking, then my hope is this blog might just give you
some more ideas of things to try or new ways to make something. If not I hope you skip the frozen section and go for some fresh produce and give it a shot.
Much like searching for new music, I'm always happy to have a trusted
food friend tell me about a new place to try or recipe I should look
into. It's time I pay it forward.
