The adventure begins...

I love to eat. I love (most) all food. I even enjoy the act of cooking. But for some reason, I only know how to make about 7 things... tacos, cupcakes (from the box, no less), iced tea (hey, you have to boil water!), spaghetti, chicken stir-fry, brownies (mix provided, of course), and scrambled eggs. You get the idea. I realize that my pitiful list of culinary competencies rivals only that of a small child or uninspired bachelor.

Being a creative person, I'm naturally drawn to food and the act of preparation intrigues me. As I get older, I realize that creating a meal for someone requires nothing less than preparation, effort, thoughtfulness, and love. Why can't my lack of natural talent be overcome by learned behavior? Here's hoping!

All that to say. I love to eat. I will learn to cook.
