I feel like a bit of an idiot. This blog is not going to be just all my cooking. But I can't seem to find the time to write what I want to write. I have so much stuff tucked here and there - posts from other websites, emails to friends and just random thoughts that I want to record. But until I have more time, meals will fill in!

Dinner on Saturday was a wonderful cheeseburger recommended by a friend at http://www.cookskorner.com/forums/index.php?act=idx - Cookskorner - a wonderful online cooking/food community that I participate in. The burger is done by the NYTimes method - packed only enough hold together and then cooked with a combination of pan searing and then roasting. I topped it with Saga bleu Brie, bacon and caramelized onions and served it on English muffins. So amazingly good!


Last night was another thing from the same friend - rib eye steaks with a lovely mushroom/ brandy cream sauce, Brussel sprouts sauteed in bacon grease w/ bacon and Boursin potatoes:

Tonight I had a craving as I was leaving work:

Spiced shrimp w/ cocktail sauce, crackers and Boursin

I would love to have a list on the main page of this with links to my favorite websites and blogs. I can't find anything that will tell me how to do that. I can post links within a post, but not something that stays on the side of the blog.
