Its no secret or joke. I love making food. All kinds. Mostly the delicious sort.
Tonight's dinner special, pizza with salami, garlic, tomato, scallion, and mozzarella. The pizza stone has become my best friend and were this my home I would most certainly already have built a brick oven in the backyard.
To drink. Argentinian Malbec. My buddy Ben lived there for 9 months and has a distinct preference for South American wines. So I have come to appreciate the Malbec nose, brightness, and flavor.
Sweetening the palate: Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with coconut. The ole' standby with coconut to change things up. Delicious. There may be more brownie making in the future too. Think cayenne.
These are the meals I savor. Though I find myself wishing I could cook for friends more often and finding fewer of them around. It is probably because I fly by the seat of my pants, but more then likely it is because they are actually busy. We have many things on our plates these days. Commitments. Long days in the office. Enlightenment is becoming brighter as all of those adages from my elders are becoming reality and I thank heaven for my stubbornness that made sure I did whatever they said. It wasn't all completed, but most of it will be, and I will strive to finish the rest.
So I will continue to cook.
Next up on the list of things to cook, adventure.
