What a wonderful day for the first post of a food blog. I will be blogging primarily about food that I have made at home along with the occasional trip out to eat when it is affordable.
I absolutely love to experiment in the kitchen and most people tell me I am an excellent cook. That being said I have certainly had a few spectacular disasters and I will have no problem posting about them as they happen.
For today my wife made a discovery in baking her pumpkin pies. There a little of the filling left over after the pies were filled so we just put it in a backing dish and made some pumpkin custard. When it was done she tasted it and seemed a bit disappointed and said it was a little too spicy. I tried it and found that she had put a good bit of extra clove in it. I believe the extra clove is actually awesome and unless you do not like clove I would certainly advise trying a bit extra in your pie.
My wife and I have some differences of opinion on spices and seasoning. My wife is an absolutely wonderful cook and tends to stay very light with seasoning of any kind. I on the other hand have allergies and sometimes am not able to smell very well and smell is a big part of eating and of your tasting so when I can not smell I tend to go very strong with spices and seasoning to compensate for the lack of smell and that tends be too overboard for her.
I completely respect her thoughts on food seasoning although I do not always agree with them so I do try to not go too terribly overboard but I do make things that she will not eat. I do not do it purposely but it does happen.
That all being said Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the food and the day.
