Even though I've been spending a lot of time reading about food, I've been feeling dreadfully uninspired in my cooking. The meals that I have been preparing have been rehashes of all the things that I've done before...not that it's bad...it's summer, burgers, brats all very good things and for the season, but I am just wanting to cook more for the winter and fall...even when what I'm reading now is about spring (since I'm a few months behind).
I've been more interested in the book on malt whiskey that Nathan got me for my birthday. Wouldn't it be interesting to to start a distiller that uses things grown in iowa like corn, corn cob based fire for taste? I know that Templeton Rye is here in the state, and of all the bottles in the house, that was drank pretty quickly. I should go out and buy another bottle, but in these tight budget times, and the wide range of other fine spirits, it does seem a bit silly.
I want to start a food site....I find most lacking, either in content, or in usability. I've been thinking about the structure in my mind, but most of the ideas depend on getting that good domain name. It is a little late in the game for that. I think a lot of the "web 2.0" things out there with the missing letters and what not are silly...If you have an idea, drop me an email. I do have snackfoodreview.com, but that would be limiting in the content...and as I grow older, the more snack food I dislike....or at least don't like as much as I used to...
Ideally it would be something that would look good prefaced with a type of food, like snacks.whatever.com or followed by...so like whatever.com/snacks/...anyways, it's just a thought. Who knows if I'll ever follow through. I've got Nathan on board as a reviewer (he's been calling me from time to time to tell me about food experiences he has had, and I've been enjoying the hell out of it). I think he has a more refined palette then I do and has better describing things too. Anyways, I'm sure the input of lots of people will help.
I am actually going to implement one of my ideas for the core of it, into the project I'm working on at work (to help in search-ability).
Anyways...
