NOTES: Prep Appraisal Hands-On

FOODSTUFF LISTING:Chimmi Changa

Yes, in the kitchen, there is business process management (BPM), a process that takes into consideration steps, technique and timing. Whenever preparing a meal from a recipe or from scratch, success or failure begins and ends with the process involved. When substituting ingredients, an awareness of process in comparison to the improvisation is required.

NOTES: Flipping Burger Innovation!!!

FOODSTUFF LISTING: Meatballs

I learned a lot from my fast-food job. The business skills learned while working in a fast-food environment ("super-size" in the later part of the 20th Century) is like the entrepreneurial skills learned while working as a paperboy ("get your paper here" in the early part of the 20th Century). Some people view working in fast-food as an embarrassment, but what's wrong with learning how to be efficient and how to up-sell?

FOODSTUFF: Ed's Stuffed Pepper

This poem attempts to describe the components and mechanics of a recipe, which is an attempt to describe the components and mechanics of preparing a portion of a meal, if not the meal entirely.

NOTES: Taste Matters

FOODSTUFF: Fig Chicken, and Tuna Pot Pie

I started going to a nutritionist to help me manage my carbohydrate intake. She introduced me to substitutes for...food. The nutritionist also spoke strongly on moderation. I did moderate my consumption, but not substitution. I've heard of tough love, but tough eating be damned!!! "For health reasons," is a decent excuse, but one does not have to suffer.

EatIngredients.com is the result of over five years of documenting my anecdotal cooking (via my poetry and foodstuff listings). The inspiration for this project came from the attempt to decompress from a nebulous schedule as paced by maintaining a new media lifestyle within the Information Society. Taking the time to actually prepare a meal, list the ingredients, and write poetry has been a good experiential and conceptual counterbalance between 20th Century utility and 21st Century gadgetry.

Welcome to EatIngredients.com--a podcast and website dedicated to anecdotal cooking as expressed through my poetry and foodstuff listings. Transcend the compromises of meal preparation with my basic and not so basic culinary musings.
