This is a new attempt at Blogging for me. I did attempt once, a long time ago. I discovered this when I tried to sign up for this blog. My first blog was a one sentence, "lets see how this new technology works" blog that I never went back to. Who knows how long ago that was. Since the title was in Arabic, I assume it was during my undergrad years. So this time, following the advice of my favorite graphic designer- that blogs should be about something, I will make a real stab at this. Considering I will actually finish an MS degree in three weeks, I may need something to do. So my topic is Mormon Cooking. I am sure some are confused. Some might think I mean to post funeral potato recipes and others might think I intend to create a new multi-level marketing company that uses LDS connections to build your network, while others may wonder what Mormon Cooking is.
So I suppose it is only fair to define what I mean by Mormon Cooking. While I have a great love for green Jello salads and freezer meals, this is not that kind of site. As a Mormon and a self proclaimed good cook, I wanted to share my triumphs and tragedies in the kitchen. I found a chain of blogs about food the other day and have enjoyed perusing them. I feel like I would love to be connected to that scene but I have two hang-ups: 1. I am not a pro-chef by any means and 2. Alcohol. It seems that every "good" cooking site, book etc. is more focused on how to use good booze to enhance food rather that just cooking food. Considering my faith's avoidance of alcohol, I wanted to post how I cook delicious food "sans Alcholia". So thus the premise of my blog was born. I will attempt to provide recipes, ideas, and thoughts on cooking - that negate the need to sneak into a liquor store, hoping no one in your Ward sees you, in order to make new and delicious food. If you came here looking for funeral potatoes I am sorry, I have never made them. Hopefully though I will have something to share. Until next time. . .
