Ly's World: Homemade Thoughts and Reviews

Wow its been a long time since I have written on this blog .  I am kind of a flake when it comes to things like this.  I would totally be in to it for the moment and once it becomes tedious, then I am out of it.  Well, hopefully things will change for the better.  I decided to start writing again… hopefully I will be more committed to it than I was before.

You see, I have decided to dedicate my blog now to food, friends, and maybe the occasional random Homemade Pictures.  My fire to become an amateur Chef (if one can be such a thing) and Food Critic has just been re-lit after watching Being Julia.  Granted, I have no training in cooking or writing about food, but if you have a passion, shouldn’t you try and immerse yourself in it, even for just a bit?  Plus, I have just gotten the two volumes of Julia’s cookbook… Mastering the Art of French Cooking along with the textbook from the Culinary Institute of America: The Professional Chef.  I’ve also just been to some new and exciting restaurants and bars with some friends and decided, “Hey, I want to write about this.  I want to review these places and see if anyone cares what I think.”  So here I am… Starting this blog thing… Again… all over… new Series… even though I haven’t finished or even started any of my previous Series… but hopefully things will change and I will be more into these new Series.

Oh, I haven’t told you what they are yet have I?  The first Series is going to be titled… Homemade Food Reviews.  I will be reviewing all the old and new restaurants, pubs, bars, bistros, cafes and whatever other places there are out there where you can go and get a meal.  I will be reviewing with a set of criteria that may be floating (Come on people!  You know me!  I’m always all over the place.  LOL)  They may include: Ambiance, Taste, Presentation, Smell, Location, and Cost… Um… I’m  working on a set of criteria… work with me people!  I’m new at this!

The second Series will focus on recipes, Homemade Recipe Review, whether it’s from a book (i.e. Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Betty Crocker’s… etc.) or recipes from family, friends or strangers (I’d say fans, but I don’t really have any just yet…. but here’s to crossing my fingers!) or making things on the fly.  I will rate on how easy or difficult it was to make, was the time to make it worth it, taste and overall satisfaction.  Plus, I’ll add a note of whether I will try to make it again or not.  If I failed at making it the first time… I will probably try to make it again to see if I can get it right… all will be written in this very blog.

Well I see this post is crazy long… I will end it here and hopefully, the next blog will be up soon.   Here’s to entering a new amazing world of food.
