Cuttin' loose in a new direction

While I was certainly enjoying all of my little reviews of cookbooks (weren't you?), I felt like I had too narrow of a topic (story of my life--every paper I have ever written is based on a subject that is addressed by only one sentence in the ten books available on the larger idea.) and just didn't have enough room to....stretch? So I considered just starting a new blog or enlarging the idea of this one, but didn't want to make it completely general and start writing about my experience as a judge for the 2005 Miss Arkansas USA pageant or something crazy like that(huh? It's true, but you won't read about it here.). In the end, I decided it would be more fun to keep writing about cookbooks when the mood strikes me, but to throw in general ideas about food or cooking that I'm considering. This might be menus, recipes, gadgets, or whatever.

Let's see what happens.
