Someone “Liked” a food pic I posted on Facebook. So I took that as Divine Intervention and a Message that I should have a food blog going since there’s such a dearth. I’ll get to the good stuff later but to start, here’s my food philosophy:
- If it doesn’t look good, it better taste good. If it doesn’t taste good, it better look amazing. If it smells funny but looks good, take a picture, then toss it (the food, not the picture).
- Cooking time: If you smell it, it’s going to be done soon. If you smell a forest fire/creosote/any bad smell, you blew it. In between, you should be on the lookout for an essence that whets the palate and makes your heart sing. That’s when it’s done. Taste it — if it’s not done, just mix it around a bit to cover the tasting evidence and put it back in for a few.
- Always bear in mind the ratio of vitamins to fat/salt/sugar. After doing that, just enjoy it.
- Preservatives. If you accidentally ingest a preservative (BHT, BTA, MTA, TBD, etc) just drink some water and tell yourself that if it doesn’t kill you, it will preserve you.

Thanks for some other fantastic article. The place else could anybody get that type of information in such an ideal method of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
Sorry for the delay. Your email went into the Spam file (probably the window-tinting URL plug. Which is good to know about in case I ever start to dislike sunlight). Thanks for your comment. Despite believing that mine is the only food blog, you might have some luck by typing “food articles” or “food blogs” into Google or your favorite search engine. That said, I enjoyed your Arabic poems. I couldn’t read them but the font is fun to look at.
