The Menu.

During the creation of a meal, it is wise to be adaptable. Nevertheless, as with any recipe or menu, it helps to have a roadmap of sorts, a frame within which culinary artistic license can be allowed to develop organically, as it were.

So too, in the documentation of these food follies, I think it wisest to have a template.

While I am in a frenzy of cooking this week (given that the summer semester has only just begun), I must also be wary of getting absorbed in this new creative project too thoroughly, lest any reduction in the frequency of my cooking be, well, frankly anti-climactic.

To that end, the literary menu for each week:

Appetizer: A brief post of a food-related query related to ingredients, technique, etc.
Main: The creation/documentation/commentary on a 3-course meal.
Dessert: Some sort of pseudo-philosophical musing, or a new delicious and exciting culinary find.

Interesting and possibly tangential "amuse-bouches" may be sprinkled haphazardly throughout, and I make no apologies for overt indulgences in food-related punnery.
