Good morning folks. I know I started this blog as something of an outlet for myself, but to be honest I really haven't had a lot to say since my last post. So this is serving as kind of an update just to say I haven't forgotten about you, and I certainly hope you haven't forgotten about me.
I have always been pretty confident in myself as a chef, and this weekend I decided to try making fried rice for the first time. And I must say, the first time was a success. I know many of you may think fried rice is not a complicated dish to make, and you're probably right. But I submit that trying anything for the first time, whether extremely simple or maddeningly complicated, is a daunting task. I am happy to say that I did not give myself food poisoning so that's a plus. I have long felt that cooking is akin to chemistry. A recipe is a formula and if you get the ingredients or the measurements wrong, the results can be catastrophic. If I have one complaint about the fried rice, it is that I probably could have used a little more salt and soy sauce, maybe some sesame seeds. Other than that though, delicious.
It snowed here in Denver all weekend. It is still dusting a little bit this morning. I don't know how much snow was reported here, but there is over 6" accumulated on my balcony. I titled this blog Find Your Beach, which ultimately is supposed to be a state of mind, but it is difficult to find any sort of beach when it's all of 7 degrees where you live.
So that's it for today. Just a brief smattering of random thoughts and observations. Have a great day wherever you are today.
