Welcome to my cooking blog!

Last week Hirsh and I watched "Julie & Julia" a fantastic movie about a girl who cooks her way through Julia Child's "The Art of French Cooking" in one year and blogs about her experiences. While I don't plan to attempt such a great feat (it almost ruined her marriage!) it inspired me to start a cooking blog. I have been thinking about starting a cooking blog for a long time since I love trying new dishes, and I know so many people who love to cook and try new recipes. I will post all the new dishes I try with recipes and pictures as well as the fun cooking tricks I pick up along the way. Let me know if you want to do a guest post to share a recipe of your own!

  2. Will the reviews consist of zero, one, or two thumbs up from Hirsh?

  3. Matt- Hirsh and I actually had an extensive conversation about the rating system last night. Ratings will be on a scale from 1-10. Food is rated based on comparison to everything in its genre- sides are compared to sides, entrees to entrees, vegetables to vegetables, etc. We also decided that anything over 5 meant we would eat it again (even if it wasn't our favorite meal.) He correctly predicted that you would be very interested in the rating system. :-)

  4. Nice! He was absolutely correct.

    Does this mean there will be periodic statistical analysis postings? I hope it does.

    What time zone are you in? I definitely posted my first comment after lunch (and not at 11:35 am).
