Does anyone else relate?

I live in the forest. I play guitar. I just finished my Bachelors and am struggling to find a job in my field. I have a karaoke addiction. I love to cook. And bake. From scratch. So, instead of posting all my food, home, and music photos incessantly to facebook as I usually do, I thought I would start a blog.

I love good food and I don't have much money. Add to that living in a very rural setting with the closest town devoid of anything elegant, upscale or inventive, I experiment often in the kitchen to fulfill my gourmet desires...sometimes not-so-gourmet, but almost always from scratch, often frugal, and, generally, delicious.

I hope to share some tips and tricks with you to help you have fun in the kitchen, prepare exciting and affordable meals and just find a few moments of the day to not feel so jaded. Accomplishing a beautiful, tasty dish can go a long way to repairing a not-so-beautiful day; or can be a great way to celebrate the perfect one!
