Chadya's Kitchen Dramas: Some administrative apologies

Some administrative apologies

So i want to apologize for a couple things. although my apologies dont necessarily mean i plan to change. so i guess its not an apology but an explaination.

I know my grammar and punctuation is bad. there are three reasons for this and none are illiteracy. 1 is i am lazy and i hate capitalizing things. 2 is that i think i should just write like i am feeling and not worry about the rules, and 3 is that my keyboard is wierd and my typing skills have been declining for some reason.

my pictures could be better. and they will. my problem now is ramadhan. dinner must be ready at sundown. my camera takes bad pics without sunlight, given that its a phone. someday i will dig my real camera out if its hiding place. until then or after ramadhan is over, you (whoever you are) will have to deal with it. he he.

About This Blog

I am here because my Facebook account is overwhelmingly dominated by food and recipe postings. Being that I love to share new ideas, and I love to invent new recipes, I am here. typing little letters on a page. little letters that add up to my version of art, when my life is too chaotic and busy to paint a painting, or anythings else. I am a mom and I work full time. I find that, in order to get my creativity fix, I must combine my household duties with my artwork. Thus my kitchen dramas.

I appreciate the critique of my Toddler, who loves his food. A design is nothing if not given his seal of approval, big wide eyes and an MMMMMMM. (this is emphasized especially in the case of COOKIE DOUGH!)

I also would like to point out that some ingredients used, while they can be expensive, can be found more reasonably priced if you are careful. i will include shopping tips when these cases arise. I often need the services of my local asian, mexican, and arabian markets for ingredients. Know where yours is.

With the shift in emphasis on organic and more healthful ingredients, remember that substitutions can be made for white sugar, white flour, butter, and so on. The best thing about cooking is that a recipe can be simply a template, and like this blog can be customized. Most of my recipes are my interpretations on a classic, or a general formula. like a quick bread or a cookie can be made from anything, if you know the ratios.

And so, without further ado, I will introduce my blog, where pungent and spicy ingredients like vinegar, capers, smoked fish, anchovies, bleu cheese, curry, and peppers take center stage. Where a great cookie can be inspired by a great cocktail, or a simple peppercorn. where bread is never ever made in a food processor, and rarely is a box used, as getting your hands dirty is almost a requirement.
