My Kitchen is in a Fort

I have become a citizen of the twenty-first century: I have a blog. And not just a blog about my feelings...but one that will hopefully be useful.

Rewind, two months ago:

Rachel: "I mean, I just don't even know where to start. Sometimes I have the time to make something really good, but even then I don't know what to cook."

Me: "Yeah..."

R: "And even then, I'll need to try to make something when I don't have time. I mean, you cook, like, EVERY DAY. Seriously, you should help people like me."

Well, Rachel, this blog is for you. Bless your heart.

As I was researching other food blogs to throw on the side of this thing to make it seem like I know what I'm talking about, it became clear that there aren't many places that have recipes that only take 20 minutes and 3 ingredients. I mean, I guess these people just sit at home and make fancy food all day long and then use their blogs as shrines to their good taste buds...but as for me and (maybe) you, I (1) don't have lots of money, (2) work all day and sometimes night, and (3) would rather spend the time eating the food with others than stressing over it alone in the kitchen.

Look, let's just cook and then move on with the day, right? Well, hopefully you'll enjoy it and start learning as you go. Email me with your favorites and I'd be happy to pass it along.

I didn't go to culinary school, but I have a subscription to Cook's Illustrated and a pile of about 10 cookbooks. Most of the recipes that I'll have on here are from somewhere other than my brain - whether it's a friend's, a blog's, a book's, or from some tv show.

Well, happy cooking.
