A Note About the Recipes on This Website

The recipes posted on this blog are intended primarily for my convenience.  They are posted the way I was taught to cook, by verbal history passed down through generations.  No "1/4 teaspoon measurements here...  My Mother-in-Law never measured, therefore she could not give me measurements.  Almost every recipe started with, 'You start with the garlic, heat it in the olive oil...'  When I asked, how much garlic?  The response was typically, '...THE garlic...'. 

If you are using these recipes, hopefully you will capture the flavor profile and create your own measurements to make them yours.  Please put your modifications in the comments and continue the verbal history of our predecessors, albeit, in our own digital manner. 

If you cook with the precision of my electrical engineer Sister-in-Law, as if you are mixing combustible chemicals where a mistake will result in bodily harm, move on.  There is nothing for you to see here.  This is not the website for you.
