recipe blog?

a few people recently, whom i didnt even know read my blog, have asked my why i don't share recipes since i cook so much.

well, let's see.

first of all, i hardly ever follow a recipe anymore, with the exception of a couple of cake/brownie recipes, and this thai salad dressing i love. i have tons, and i look at them often to get ideas, but that's about it. im lucky to work for a chef who is trying his hardest to get me to be less anal and experiment, and make things that actually taste good rather than simply following directions. {ok, ok, im still anal, but at least i think outside the box a little bit now :) }

second, i'm a brat and i don't like to share! if i've come up with something great, i don't want anyone making it and taking credit for it. similarly, if i've made something, and you go make it poorly and say it's what i told you to do, i'll be pissed! i don't want my name attached to something crappy!

now and then, when i feel like being less of a bitch, and if you ask really nicely, i don't mind sharing some easy basic recipes, the kind of stuff that would be difficult to screw up. but, let's be honest, that doesn't happen that often! :)
