Is there anybody listening?

Hello,

Space is definitely a frontier.  It is the sky, the great expanse that probably will never be conquered, if the big bang theory is to be believed.  Food has very easily attainable raw materials, props, and ideas which will make either a physical change or a chemical change.  Even in the worst of situations food is one of the most easily acquired natural resources.  We have basically spent all of human history perfecting how to acquire food.  For myself in a first world country, even if I had to walk, there is a supermarket within a few miles.  Props, the things we cook with, may be some of the most unique materials we store within our homes, but we ingenuit them and care for them.  Heat and cold are sometimes as easy to attain as going outside, but for extremes most of us can at the very least find something expendable to burn.  Even the disadvantaged among us will at some point in their lives cook a meal.  Typically if you have realized some greater achievement and have the means you might employ someone else to do your food inspiration.

I feel I have an eccentric viewpoint on the subject of food.  I basically consider it a creative process with all of the tools at hand and the ideas I have been exposed to.  I will probably only write approximately once a week or less due to the fact that this is a hobby I don’t have daily time for and I cook in bulk.  Later today or early tomorrow I will start with making something for my lunches at work.  I will make Potato Soup, which is kinda a misnomer of titles in that you already think of one particular thing as Potato Soup.  This is a soup which has as a main ingredient potatoes, and the name still felt appropriate.

So here I am signing off on my first blog.  When I started it was a day of a sliver of new hope in the west, a waxing crescent moon.  With one more day of waxing I will talk to you again.
