–Gaping Void via Chez Pim.
As I was looking through cooking blogs- which is something that I want to have more links on-somewhere, probably on the WordPress rendition I am slaving away on- I found this.
I am in the mood to improve my cooking efforts. I used to be a fairly decent cook- but like Keely was saying in her Saturday post…. I find that time has decayed my glowing picture of what I thought I was. My cooking isn’t up to snuff.
I can do a mean Sam’s Club Potsticker dumpling! In fact Sam’s Club and the deli @ Wild Oats have saved many a meal for me.
It just isn’t very creative and home-cooked satisfactory. Tastes good though.

On that funny topic:
While looking through the gapingvoid blog I came upon this helpful post, How To Be Creative. It is like I got my expressed wish for something to improve my blogging ( and all creative endeavors) and some funnies, as well. A word of warning, though, there is more than a bit of offensive language on the site, although not so much on the creative post. If that is hard for you to take, be advised.
Thanks for the tip on the “How to be Creative”site – I live for things like that when I hit a block.
Funny stuff!
I love to cook! Good thing, that! Browsing through cookbooks gets me out of a slump. A few simple, fresh ingredients and some fresh herbs and I’m enthusiastic. How many are you cooking for these days?
Daily I cook for 7, but when it is a holiday or special occasion that number can jump to 13-15. I’m hoping to have more people over again-the family stuff got me out of the habit, but I love to have casual get-together and that can inflate the numbers.
Right now I have made my own sort of gazpacho using the fresh salsa by Oasis or Jack’s. I am inspired to try salmon once I get Derek’s ( caterer) recipe. I like fish and like to cook itbut my family has a prejudice against it.
Have any sites you like on the cooking topic?
