Cheater Cheater East Coast Subs and Fries Eater
Carry-out night! I actually tried to get a reservation to go to the newly opened Alfresco Dining at The Carriage House where I have been dreaming about the crispy crust of their authentic pizza from the outdoor wood fired oven for weeks. However, whomever answered the phone when I called Friday afternoon did not have "the book", couldnt give me the available reservation times and wanted to call me back, etc., etc., etc. Way too much trouble! So instead I spent the afternoon shopping and when I returned home, many hours later, my poor tired self just wanted to kick back, take a night off from kitchen duty, have a glass (or two..or three) of wine, indulge in some junkie type food and emerse myself in a chick flick (Nights of Rodanthe which, btw, I really loved but figured out half way through). Although admittedly a quite pathetic way to spend a Friday night, it was marvelous nonetheless!

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Fries
 |
| Easy, tasty gluten-free sweet potato fries baked with spices. |
Like my pal Kalyn I'm a big fan of sweet potatoes. And sweet potato fries. Kalyn's recipe has a different spice blend than mine but our recipes are quite similar. Check out hers if you don't happen to care for my particular spices. Or get down-and-dirty personal and make up your own signature concoction.
Cooking is all about making recipes your own. Developing your own tastes. Your likes and dislikes. Cooking is flexible. And highly personal. It's not precise like, say, brain surgery. Unless you're baking something fussy. Baking folks swear by precision. But I've never actually been that kind of cook. I'm intuitive. I fly by the seat of my jeans. I look at a glistening picture of pasta and vegetables and I feel inspired. I open my pantry and get juiced to play the What If? Game.
What if I take this ingredient and add it to that ingredient? I wonder. What would that taste like? Then the fun begins.
How do you cook?
Do you wing it like Chet Baker? Or do you prefer a road map, with precise direction?
