When I was invited to write a post for the Kitchn, I was humbled and honored. I could have racked my brain over several things to write about, but I just went with what my fingers started typing. I started to think that what I was writing was a little too personal, too froufy maybe. But I went with it because I think it captures a bit of cooking ideology that I believe in and am not afraid to share. Good recipes and techniques are essential to good cooking, but so are your ideas and thoughts as they relate to food and those people you are preparing it for. The initimable “splatgirl” of the Modern in MN and splatgirl creates blogs reiterated my message:
“…Good cooking both demands and benefits from the cook engaging on more than just a technical level. I think cooking, just like a home or the universe, absorbs the vibe you throw at it and is experienced accordingly.”
And you should see the vibe that splatgirl throws at her creative universe.
Friday was a doubly good day for Pleasant House because it started with a link from Michael Gebert’s Sky Full of Bacon to my Choice Beef post, a piece that I slaved over for months and pretty much decided at one point I would never publish for various reasons. For this post to be recognized by someone with such journalistic integrity was a real honor. Michael wrote:
“Really a great in-depth look that could easily have been a magazine piece, and yet, thanks to the Internet, you can read it for free. (Um, like a magazine piece.)”
It’s exciting to see a project that I thought was on a one-way track to nowhere actually end up coming full circle.
