The Start

So today I had a thought, "You know, you've thought about doing a baking blog, but knew it wouldn't be that great or anything, but what if you did it as a journal."  I know that if I sit on an idea long enough it goes away so here I am.  So, this is a journal.  It's a place for me to talk about what's on my mind food wise and keep track of work I've done- good or not so good.  I was thinking baking originally, but I like to cook so there's no reason to force myself into only baking thoughts. 

What's on my mind: I'm going to do a pineapple papaya sorbet from Cooking Light magazine, which, speaking of, I need to put my ice cream freezer bowl in the freezer.  I've never worked with papaya.  I had no idea what I was looking for at the store, but it didn't seem to be rotting and it was slightly soft to the touch, so it can't be that bad.

I bought 4 pounds of strawberries and like 8 apricots from Sprouts.  I know we can't eat that much, but I get so excited in the produce section.  I think about how healthy I'm going to eat and all the things I can do with it.  Like strawberry apricot jam...with mint.  Why didn't I buy mint, or canning jars.  Also, I need an indoor grill so that I can do things like grill apricots or pineapple.

Ham sandwich with rosemary and dill spread.  Artichoke hearts? Cheese?  I'm going to buy bread from Black Rooster.
