My other blog.

Sometime in December I came up with an idea for my mother and I to do something fun together, and for me to record some of the things I cook as a record and a way of potentially sharing them – at least with my mom, maybe eventually with others who might read the blog. So when I went home for Christmas my mom came up with a good name, we registered the blog here on wordpress, and made a little banner for it, and decided to start blogging about food. Neither of us is an expert cook by any means, but it is fun. I am decidedly more of an enthusiast than she is. We don’t post to it a whole lot yet, and I post more than my mom, but it’s fun. Maybe it won’t last, maybe it will become more of a regular thing. For now, it’s a fun project for us. I think my dad never really let anyone else help much in the kitchen. My brother showed an interest in cooking for awhile and he did get to help my dad and learn from him, but a lot of it was my brother just needing him with something he wanted to make. My dad isn’t one to really share the task of making a meal. He’s a bit to impatient for that. Anyway, it’s fun being on my own to learn some cooking techniques and develop some core recipes that I can play with and cook for friends and Chad. In addition to this online recipe store, I’m starting to make a binder full of recipes and tips and substitutions, for the times when I’m not with my computer or I don’t have time to make a post or when I just want to make notes of an alteration I’ve made to a recipe. I think these two will complement each other nicely and maybe the book will even help me to have more to put on the blog on a regular basis. 

Still reading? If you want to check our cooking blog, head over to We Can Cook Too.  There are six recipes up right now. There’s no more theme to the site than “things we’ve cooked”, but maybe if we end up with enough recipes we’ll organize them.

Let me know what you think, and what you think I should post there!
