Did you see what I did there? Huh, Huh, did ya? The title of this blog....yeah I know it's pretty creative, but beyond that it seems appropriate. For one I love to eat food and one of the greatest things about food is its a vehicle for salt. But secondly you should take the opinions I share here as just that. Patronize the restaurants I sample, make drastic changes to the recipes I publish and always clean your plate (makes my grandma happy). You should always eat for yourself, cook for others, and read this blog often for me. Thanks in advance.
A little more on sodium chloride. Salt has been many things, from flavor to currency but, most of all... its freakin' awesome. Have you ever licked the salt off the top of a perfectly hexagonal Skyline oyster cracker and then tossed it back in the bowl? Or practically sucked the husk off a "hot salty nut" during a sweltering summer evening watching Joey Votto and the Cincinnati Reds dismantle the Cardinals at GABP. Or better yet heavily moistened your index finger with a dollop of saliva and then plunged it into the bottom of a pretzel bag creating a sort of Saltsicle best followed by a gulp of frosty Coke?
I claim to be some sort of computer techie, at least that's how my occupation is described at my employer. That being said this blog will be my first attempt to express myself in a digital manner. I have no personal website, no youtube account (yet), and I don't tweet. So I guess I'm kind of old school for a 27 year old.
Thanks to my cousin Patrick Hildebrandt (phildebrandt.com) for encouraging me to do this. Up to this point I have used my facebook page to chronicle a few of my culinary adventures and photograph several of my creations. But this blog will be full on dedicated to the concoction and consumption of food.
