The grocery store

Most men travel to Home Depot thinking of things to do around the house that will make them feel manly or needed.. Trust me i get it,  the only thing is my Home Depot is not full of eclectic tools nails and wrenches to make me feel like i am not swinging a 2 inch hammer.  My Home Depot is on of products that will turn into a delicious culinary vacation that I create with the help of my  tools iron oil steal and fire.  I am referring to my local farmers markets, grocery stores, cheese shops, wine shops and other specialty stores that will help transform my table into a place of wonder and amazement.  I love to tickle your palette..

About 10 years ago i decided to leave the culinary world to pursue other things that I thought would bring me to a place that food did, and hopefully with half of the hours.  While I have enjoyed the past ten years without being behind the gun on a line in the kitchen,  creating friendships that I hold most valuable and being able to have the freedom to be the father and husband that I had always wanted to be.  In the back of my head
I have secretly missed the controlled chaos the the restaurant industry gives, those brave enough to play there.  The restaurant is a place of miss fits and magicians always creating a new and exciting experience to those who walk the front door. 

Being that I have missed it so, I am definitely to fat and out of shape to jump right back in to the kitchen and try to lead an army of men and woman into culinary battle.  I have decided to embark on this little project and see where it might take me. 

I am going to be writing about my experiences in the kitchen from the comfort of my own home..  From the food I prepare for my wonderful wife and children,  To the delicious morsels I make for all the dinner parties that my betrothed and I create.

I hope that you all enjoy my quirky little blog space and get your friends and family to follow also. I also hope that I might inspire you to also create in your own kitchens for the people that you all hold dear to your heart.  There is no greater act one can do for another than cook a meal out of passion and love to nourish their stomachs. 
For those of you that can't cook I say this " You can you just don't".  I f you can read you can cook.  If you make a goal to run a marathon do you just get up and haul your ass 26 miles?  That would be NO,  start small make it enjoyable.  I will show you how to have fun in the kitchen.


I hope that you all enjoy,  feel free to ask questions and give feedback.  This thing will be a interactive blog,  so  lets start cooking

Ciao
