Update

I haven't posted in a long time. This have just been a crazy-busy-fun-at-times-painful-at-times summer for me and I just haven't had the chance to really make anything new and interesting or have the motivation to write much. Cooking haven't been a high priority lately. Summer is almost over and I will cook more stuff for the blog in coming weeks and months.

I did make a few new things I didn't write about. I don't even remember how they were made, I just have some pictures. I'll post them here.

I made pork ribs one time. It was good.



I made some beef short rib. Marinaded it too long and it was too salty.




Split pea soup was a sucess. I will redo that one sometime.



Then, I went off the deep end with the bacon wrapped salmon (terrible).




I am looking to go a different direction with the cooking blog and have a more specific theme. I might concentrate on "cooking on a budget" recipes, maybe more seasonal recipes, more technique based blog entries instead of recipes, mix in some restaurants and product reviews, maybe more vegetarian dishes, or I might go nuts and turn this into a kitchen laboratory and make up crazy stuff like bacon wrapped salmon. You got to play to win right? Cooking is my toy anyway why not really have fun with it? Right now I don't know. I am planning on taking more classes to get more ideas.
