Welcome!

For some reason, I often feel the need to announce to the world via FB what I am cooking for dinner, want to cook, or want to learn how to cook.  This inevitably results in people asking for recipes.  Instead of trying to keep up with everyone and remember who I sent what, I decided to start this blog.  This way I can detail my recipes, include pictures, and (hopefully) get feed back from folks so I can see what needs to be tweaked.

I do not claim to be a professional anything, much less a chef.  I rarely measure anything while cooking, although for the sake of the recipes, I will try to at least give a vague idea of the amounts of the ingredients I am using.  I also do not claim to be ethnically true to the recipes; for example, my Greek potatoes might be completely unGreek or my Hungarian paprikash might give a bad name to all things Hungarian.  I don't know.  I start with a basic idea, or someone else's recipe, and I change things as I feel they are needed.  I will try and give credit if I am using someone else's recipe, but I almost always changes things to make them more "my own".

Enjoy!
