Well…Here Goes Nothing
I joined a blog pack last night. Now…to start blogging. Welcome everyone from the blog pack. I promise to be far more active now than in the past.

So the question was asked at today’s #FNI what’s my favorite soup, which has to be Creamy Potato Soup Specifically, the creamy potato soup from Panera served with a nice piece of whole wheat French baguette. (Though, I answered Beef Barley soup, but that was just pandering.) Anyway, I got to thinking how a good creamy potato…
So @CarissaRogers asked about how to make a chipotle dip and @Kate_Saunders asked if the recipe was on my blog. It wasn’t. It is now! Chipotle Mayo (And/Or Dip) This same recipe can be used for mayo or dip, all that changes is the base. Use mayonnaise as the base for chipotle mayo(duh) and sour cream…
So, I can’t really call this Recipe 5 of Shawna Coronado‘s and my 2009 Nude & Eco-Cheap Cooking Initiative because it’s not really dinner, nor does it meet the rules of the challenge. However, Shawna sent me this: A Radish, a Zucchini, and a Cucumber Walk Into a Brine… And asked me what I would do…
In the beginning… Let’s start off with a confession. For the most part, whole wheat pasta in my house is verboten. When the whole “eating tons of whole grain” movement suddenly got hugely popular, Mrs. WellDone was on the front lines, buying everything whole grain including more than a little whole grain spaghetti, linguine,…
So in a fit of what can only be called madness, I bought a bushel of apples. Now, I must eat these apples… So I am going to start cooking apples… Apple cakes, apple muffins, apple sauces, apple pies, apple main courses, apple sides. What I want from you all are suggestions… Give me your…

Found you through the blog pack. Looks like you have a nice thing going here. One suggestion: update your blog’s description in WordPress. It came through my feeer as still being “Just another WordPress weblog,” and you would really benefit from having more descriptive of your site there. (Also, rethink the header image. What is it?)
Hey Matt you are looking down at a plate of food the recipes for which appeared in the January edition of http://www.biaomagazine.com.
The middle glass is a sake/cranberry martini, the glass on the right is an asian gazpacho, and the thing on the left is salmon en papillote with shitake mushrooms.
The shitakes do look kind of s–take don’t they?
As for the description, thank your catching it.
Okay, I see it now. The martini, to someone like me who wouldn’t know what it is, looks like a bowl at the end of the meal. I wonder what it was they had. And what did they put in their drink? And is that some kind of sausage sticking out from under…what?
The thing is, the colors in the image are perfect. I love them. Combined with the graininess of the image and the Arial/Helvetica font, it creates it a terrific retro/mod feel I find appealing.
That said, while I’m not ready to give up red meat entirely, I am looking to reduce it and branch out a bit. I look forward to reading more.
Matt,
Glad you are looking forward to reading more. I never want to turn off my readers, especially those who eat meat. I want this blog to be a celebration of food and eating for everyone.
