Food. It’s an amazing thing really. So much so that “Nick” and “food” just seem to be have always been associated with each other. Though I love to eat food, I have just recently started to branch out into the world of actually making my own food – as in, really try to make delicious food other than sandwiches, bagged lettuce, frozen meals, canned soups, frozen waffles…. you get the picture.  Here are the reasons:

• It’s been brought to my attention (wife) that I need to be more adventurous in the world of culinary exploration (cooking, not eating. I’ll eat just about anything).

and

• I’m becoming much more aware of what I’m putting into my body.

After having read Fast Food Nation, and Watching King Corn, I’m starting to really think about the substances that I eat on a daily basis. It’s with that in mind that I’m going to start chronicling the food that I eat – so that I can keep track of what I’m eating as well as perhaps store some of my favorite recipes and ideas.
