My fiance puts in "Julie and Julia" the other night. I groaned internally, because I have never appreciated the genius of Meryl Streep before now, shame on me, and because I expected it to be a HORRIBLE farcical exploitation of one of the culinary geniuses of our time. It wasn't. Suffice it to say, since this isn't a film review blog, that it inspired me. Headed to my door is my favorite iconic cook's first cookbook, Passion for Flavour. Those of you who know the fiery ex-footballer's work already know the elephantine task I am undertaking. Especially since I am disabled and can't stand in front of a stove for hours, or even very many minutes at a stretch without needing a sit down. But, with the help of the Good Lord, my lovely fiancée, a chair in the kitchen, and the good old fashioned determination that has helped me walk again and go back to school so I can one day jump off the government-dollar when I was told I never would, I am going to do the same thing as the title character from the above movie. As soon as this book gets to my door, for 3.33333333- months I will be cooking Gordon Ramsay's world renowned fare from the cookbook that helped make him the sensation that he is, hopefully learning more about my foul-mouthed hero along the way. It may go slow at times. I may have to skip days for whatever reason, health or otherwise, but, you know me. I'll do my level best to stay on task. These blogs will have to be short and sweet because dictation software is annoying and neuropathy makes typing just this side of unbearable, but, I will try to write them in pieces and make them as detailed as I can. Hop on and hold tight. This is bound to be one F-Word of a wild ride!
Jesus Loves You and So Do I!
