Foodie wanna-be
Hi, my name is Anne. I'm a foodie. Well, a wanna-be foodie. I am insanely jealous of anyone being where they have a huge choice of ingredients from everywhere, and a better local choice than I do. I do have a farmer's market on Saturday, but I don't have the time or gas to run and get everything I'd like. Or the money, but that is another story entirely.
I drool over foodie blogs and cookbooks. Hell, I read cookbooks like novels. Love 'em.
I find the best recipes, simple ones, but requiring ingredients I just can't find in my small local grocery. Shallots? Nope. Prociutto? Nope. Yes, there are some things you can substitute but not all. And a sub just doesn't have the same flavor. Good, but not what I want. I want to try new things, and have interesting dinners and and and ....
Done whinging now.
Off to make a short run.
