We just got back from this year’s St. Jay’s Day celebration was held in Chicago, IL. It was an action packed weekend full of food, fun, and of course lots of Jay. It’s always great fun getting to spend time with my friends and even better when you add a new place to explore. I really liked Chicago and hope to return soon.
Anyway, I have uploaded the first batch of photos from the trip to my flickr account. Many more will follow.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I am the next Emeril or even that I deserve a little food network face time. However, I have been dabbling in the “cooking arts” as of late. I have always enjoyed cooking and I tend to go through phases of kitchen experimentation.
This latest inspiration began in the form of breakfast foods, namely omlettes. One morning I decided I was in the mood for something different and I began adding various spices to my eggs. The outcome was well received by Aisha, so over the next weeks I began modifying and adding new items. You know, various veggies, spices, and such.
Since then, I have made such meals as fettucini alfredo, homemade tomato sauce, and homemade pizzas. This may not sound like much, but for a person that has spent far too much of his eating, the past several years, getting takeout, this has been quite an accomplishment.
In honor of my cooking fun, I have uploaded a few snapshots to my flickr account. Bon appetit!
