Exploration

It is monday, like any other monday, but not really.  It feels like the first monday I have had off where the sun is out in forever.  I am doing my darnedest not to be in the shadowy apartment and so am outside absorbing the sun's rays like a drunken solar panel.  My goal is to find a recipe to make for you Burra.  Smitten Kitchen was an awesome blog for anyone's food spank bank.  It really made me want to get into this wonderful arena known as a kitchen.  If only I could find it...

But damn it's hard getting into something new.  the ingredients and rules, Burra, they are endless!  Then I think about making fresh pasta in Italy while drinking a nice Rioja and I get inspired.  By Italy I mean the gas station backyard we have.  It seems like a good way to spend a saturday together. 

I found a retardedly simple recipe that would not impress a starving African, but damn am I going to give it my all for you.  Hopefully from here I will work my way up to rice and other more technical dishes.  The possibilities are endless if I put my mind to it (or order it from Seb and pretend it is my own creation).
