(if you would like to point me to a certain recipe. I'd welcome that. roan_gavinATyahooDOTcom I'm a culinary adventurer, die hard carnivore and single father of one. As soon as my son is old enough to ~cough~ leave me to my own devices, I have a dream of traveling the world aimlessly in search of food and the culture that feeds it...and kissing the girls. My current fascinations are tapas and most types of peasant food. I am also in search of the perfect lemonade. I also have a fascination by recipes with less than 5 ingredients. My brothers and I telling our mother that she doesn't need to cook so much food at holidays and eating it all regardless. Yes..long-lived tradition. Successfully cooking my first gourmet dinner for me mum at approximately 12 years of age. I remember making trout in a walnut butter sauce with green beans and red potatoes. I got a kiss. My next was cooking for my first serious girlfriend and getting a kiss for it. Next, I cooked for a later girlfriend and her mates at a party. I got many...kisses. I soon came to the conclusion that cooking for women is rewarding...and here I am. Hmm...there is a theme here isn't there...Sensuality and food. Go rent Chocolat, Like Water for Chocolate, and Babette's Feast. Overzealous experimentation in my bread machine. My other tragedies I cannot recall. I'm sure my brain has buried the memories deep enough in my subconscious as to only surface when those foods are mentioned in passing...forcing a completely unexpected reaction such as sudden dry heaving.
