The Enabling Cook

Hello world!

Yes, it’s me. As if a couple of knitting blogs weren’t enough, I’ve started a food blog.

Technically, this isn’t my first foray into food blogging. I have (had) a blog on Blogger. At first, I thought I’d just move it over here. But then I noticed that I hadn’t posted to that blog for two years. Yikes. So, I have decided to start all over, but you’ll still be able to read the old posts. I may mover some of the ones I like best to this site–eventually.

So, what am I going to do with this blog? Why, talk about food of course. And cooking and gadgets. As those who have followed me from a knitting blog, you most likely know I love to cook. I have for as long as I remember. When I’d ask my mom if I could make dinner, there was never any hesitating before my mom said yes. Oh, and I was probably about 7 or 8 when I started asking.

My first adventures in culinary land were desserts. I remember a landlord who absolutely loved my desserts. And though this isn’t a dessert, my applesauce was the only kind her baby would eat. Over the past few years, I’ve moved away from desserts. I don’t eat many sweets, but when I do, it’s usually ice cream. I’ve moved on to entrees and appetizers. And bread. Bread is probably one of my favorite things in the entire world. I love making bread, and you’ll be able to read about some of my bread-making adventures here.

And now, a word about gadgets. I love kitchen gadgets. Check that. I adore kitchen gadgets. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mesh well in a kitchen with insanely limited storage space. And I do mean limited. So, I’ve had to limit my gadget acquisitions to those that, for the most part, are multipurpose. Thank you Alton Brown. In the long run, that’s probably a very good thing.

So, I hope you’ll join me here. Comment often, and if you have ideas for the blog, please send them along.
