My husband always gets very excited when finals time rolls around. He knows that I will be stressed out. I will get tired. Then, I will cook.
To me, cooking is like meditation. It is the only activity in which I can full drown myself. When I cook, all the worries in the world melt away into sweet smell of apple pie and smooth, creamy roasted garlic Alfredo sauce. When I cook, I think of nothing but the task at hand. The feeling of soft, pillow-y dough simply makes me giggle with joy. I know that even if everything I do fail, this is something I have more control over. Now, that is not to say that I don't ever fail at making something. But I know I can always throw it away (hoping no one was looking), dispose of the evidence into a trash can, and start over. I wish life is as lovely as cooking...
So, why start this blog? Mostly, it is for me to finally record all my improv recipes. I know that one day future kids will ask me to compile it and I will be overwhelmed.
But the other reason is to share my joy with my friends. Anyone who knows me well, or has carried on a decent length conversation with me, will know that all conversations with Joedy inevitably end up around food. Whether it's how to cook something, or what we ate at the latest restaurant outing, or even reminiscing the old days....it's always about food.
So that's what this blog is about: Food, cooking, eating, and more food.
I can't guarantee that my recipes are reproducible in others' hands. I tend to measure by the eye. I don't do well writing recipe. Still, I will do my best to share with you what I love.
Happy Cooking!!
