First Official Post, you know, the one where I state the Obvious

Hi, I'm Daniel, If you're reading this you're either one of my friends or you're taking a look around the blog-o-sphere and you've found this.

Welcome to my Passions

I love to eat, about as much as I love to cook, and about as much as I like talking about both of these topics. Why did I create this blog? At the suggestion of my Cousin mostly, the idea of being able to finally write down all these food ideas and philosophies that I extol seems way too tempting to me. What will you get out of this if you keep reading it? Hopefully some ideas on food, or a new recipe that I came up with on the spot, or even some commentary on Love and Life, because my passion for food is meaningless without those two four-lettered words. I have an Opinion about food, I also have an open mind to the many delicious things that are created at the hands of every day people. I enjoy food TV, so I understand the idea of the Michelin rating scale and the fancy chefs that can practically spin gold, but more importantly I understand that some of the best meals can be found for as little as five bucks in some hole in the wall that you'd ignore if someone didn't tell you. I am not about "Finding the Perfect meal", Anthony Bourdain wrote about it beautifully, I am not about "quick beautiful eats that are easy and worth the time and effort" I'd happily praise Jamie Oliver for that, I am about the love of food and the love of eating food, on my own, but preferably with friends. Will I talk about food and my joys of cooking on this first post?
No.

I want to hammer a Quote from one of the United State's best chefs that may just get what I'm all about across.

When you acknowledge as you must, that there is no such thing as perfect food, only the idea of it, then the real purpose of striving towards perfection becomes clear; to make people happy. That's what cooking is all about.
