First things first. I am not sure what this is going to turn into eventually.. Right now it is just going to be a place for my meandering thoughts on food and foodie related things.
Why Dirty Potatoes?
I think it best reflects my sensibilites when it comes to foodie type things. I am not overly impressed by things like foie gras or filet mignon(I will get back to this later..I have a whole blog post just on my thoughts on this :P) What really ends up getting me excited is everyday ingredients that are at their best , even down to what is one of the lowliest ingredients in the kitchen.. The potato. . I have no use for pre-washed potatoes . I will and have gone out of my way to buy dirty potatoes . They store longer, have better texture , and just plain taste better. The second a pototo is washed it starts to go downhill qualitywise.
So here is the start of a journey into my wierd little idiosycrasies when it comes to how I think things should be done in the kitchen and what actually constitutes good food.
