The First Bite

So the other night I was cooking up something for Becs and me to eat for dinner and I realized that I should probably take notes on things that work and don't work in my dishes. Not really write down exact proportions of ingredients, or even entire recipes, but rather just key words that might remind me of how I prepared something. Better yet, I should use our new camera and camcorder to capture some of the best ones.

Food is my passion. Not many people know that I almost withdrew from my last year of Mercer's Engineering program to pursue a culinary degree. I'm glad I didn't. Not to say that I will never go back and get a degree in culinary arts - just not yet... For now I will enjoy being an engineer and continue to focus on finishing my Master's degree at Georgia Tech (Go Jackets!) in the hopes that years from now I will have a solid base to begin a new career in food!

For me, cooking is more than a stress reliever or a hobby. I like to explore new flavors, mix/match known favorites, and try new things. Most importantly, I love to share what I make with my friends and family. There is nothing more than seeing pure enjoyment on someone's face after the first bite. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This blog is my attempt at sharing my passion for good food and also to remind me of how I made that dinner I cooked last week.

This is my life, with food.
