Just like hor d'œuvres precede a meal, I wanted to make a forward to precede this blog. I guess the best way to start this blog is by being simple and straightforward: I love to cook. Cooking combines almost all of my interests and skills. With just a little bit of logic, creativity, and common sense, it's pretty easy to make something delicious. It's for this reason that I always veer towards the cookbook section of any bookstore. However, as an impatient and busy college senior, I don't have the time or resources to spend all day creating complex meals (as much as I would like to). Also, lately I've been steering away from cookbooks and inventing my own recipes, especially if there are one or two ingredients that I dislike in a dish that looks otherwise delicious.
Introductions aside, I should explain what this blog is all about. Mystère et boule de gomme is a phrase I learned in high school French class. Roughly translated, it means "mystery and gumballs." In context, it is used by children as an answer to questions that they don't know. Similarly, I have no clue what will become of this blog. It's entirely possible I'll get bored with this in a month. What I want out of this, however, is to post recipes that anyone can take and make their own. Some think that cooking is difficult, when in reality the only limitations are your own tastes. Some of the recipes may not be my own, and credit will be given where due. So, browse through the recipes (which will start to be posted soon!) and don't be afraid to change ingredients/proportions. In fact, let me know! You might make it even better.
