No Fear, Just [Kitchen] Adventures

"Cooking is like love; it should be entered into with abandon or not at all."

Julia Child said that. [And a whole bunch of other things worth reading...here.]

[And of course now I'm thinking of that video Lisa posted a while ago where Julia Child just whips out a blowtorch on Letterman. Priceless!]


Cooking armed with an eggplant, some ideas, and a bit of research on temperatures. The result? Eggplant with Parmesan, garlic, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, and some oil that wasn't too bad.

Add some Pandora, tomato soup, My Antonia, and a beautiful sunset, and it's a good way to end the work week and start the weekend.

The moral of the story: If you're thinking of coming to be a guest in my apartment, I will feed you some decent food.

~"The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking, you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude." [-Julia Child]~
