Manggy, I wish this was a high paying job (or that my day job was high paying), but honestly I love cooking and since I can’t have a dinner party every night, this is the next best way to share with other people.

Laura, I’m going to have to pick up some copies of Cuisine the next time I’m down there.

Diva, HAAHA floofy, I’ll have to remember that one. That’s actually not my pantry, I emptied the contents of a couple shelves in my pantry onto my kitchen table.

Claudia, I’m really not much of a big city guy, but I have to say that I’ll miss the restaurants when I move away eventually.

Heather, great tips! I love checking out new grocery stores too. I also love turning things into dishes that they were never intended to be included in. I’m not sure how much longer i can keep the 1 post a day average up.

Michelle, I was so bummed when Eat Inside (the space that is now Perilla) closed. But Perilla is just as good (if not better). The sweet version of savory classics is a great idea.

Sonia, great ideas! I love CI. And even simple recipes can be sublime when executed perfectly.

Susan, I’m a big fan of eating local and seasonal too. It gives you something to look forward to every year.

EAT!, there’s nothing wrong with a burger and fries, it’s probably one of my most frequently craved items.

Ginny, great idea! I do get a bit stressed about posting everyday, so we’ll see how long I can keep it up.

We Are Never Full, good point! I did forget travel, though unfortunately I can’t hop on a plane to Tunisia every time I need a little inspiration (maybe someday).

canarygirl, yea i get cravings a lot too. Where are you? Mediterranean food is one of my favourites so I wouldn’t mind having limited choices if I could get good mediterranean food.

Grace, it was actually over a couple months and I did have some fantastic meals. I’m quite certain you’re not the most unoriginal person in the world, the fact that you make changes to recipes is a good sign. Just keep playing around with food and you’ll eventually come up with something entirely new:-)

Hillary, you’re very welcome, thanks for the nice comment!

i admire you for taking on this endeavor. sometimes i’m pretty sure i’m the most unoriginal person in the world, as the best i can usually do is take someone else’s recipe and maybe add a couple things to it. i’m a work in progress, and your tips are greatly appreciated! keep up the stellar work!
