Whoops...

So for some reason, I just can't seem to get the "About" page to work. I don't know if anybody out there can see it, but when I visit my blog, it doesn't show anything posted on that page. To start, then, here's my "About" section. Hopefully I'll have the actual page up and running soon, but until then...

I can cook enough to keep myself from starving, but

there are a lot of common dishes out there that I've never even attempted to make. Like steak, for example, or fettucini alfredo, or hard boiled eggs. These are things that I've eaten many times before and absolutely love, but that I just never learned to make by myself. That's where this blog comes in. Generally, I want to figure out how to cook the things I like to eat, and here is where I'm going share my sure to be haphazard learning experience so that anyone else who's curious and interested can learn from my mistakes. So here's to an adventurous semester of lots of trial and error, and maybe even a few more-than-mediocre meals!

I'd like to post something new about twice a week, and hopefully at least one of those posts will involve me learning my way through a new recipe. Though I'm starting this blog as a class project for my Food Writing course, I've always wanted to blog, and I hope I can keep it up just for fun even after the course is over!
