Writing a Blog and Quoting Others

When I decided to write this I looked at was already out there. Some gave me good ideas and some were a waste of time. I was startled how many porn sites come up when you search for food related items. I came across an abandoned blog that someone had started and walked away from in 2007. Some of the ideas were just like mine but from a different point of view. Some very good insights and no recipes and only basic technique. I bought the name and suppose it is all right to use some of the content, there was no identifiers, names or phrases and there was no copyright notice. Interspersed in my work there will be some of that writers work it may be intentional or not. TL

TasteLike Chicken - An Adventure

Eating can be and should be an adventure. I believe you must be able to prepare food to understand and taste the nuances. Not everyday, but at least a couple times a week spoil yourself with a good homemade from scratch dinner or breakfast. Because food is going to be homemade does not mean it takes lots of steps and time, which is precious.

Some People Eat to Live and Others Live to Eat!

I will include recipes and speed techniques for American Comfort Foods, Tex-Mex (my personal favorite), Country Italian-Traditional, Korean/Asian, and last but not least, how to feed large groups of people, planning and preparation or just my wife and the dogs... 

Back in the day I have been known to go to work for a restaurant or chef just to learn a technique or a recipe.

I have line cooked and prepped in mom and pops operations, cafeterias, nursing homes or hospitals, Hotels (Sous Chef ) and more than one four star restaurant line cook to pastry chef.


Eclectic Shift of Thought
I love to watch the Emu's, this cat charged the fence repeatedly as if he could take down the 100 + pound bird and eat it. Emu's have very large, dangerous feet and can run at 30 miles an hour.
Emu's were being raised for a while for food. To my good fortune I let the farmer who raised these invite me to dinner, Emu's taste like very lean red meat that is a bit stringy but still very tender. The problem arose because I had thought of them as pets with distinct personalities and I simply wouldn't eat a friend. On the other hand if you go to someone who knows about raising Emu's and most importantly dressing out the bird then an Emu is excellent protean. Just don't give them names.

For more information on Emu's as vittles talk to:
