A New Venture..

    I think one of the things that I was most excited about when I got married was the cooking.. Of course other things trump the cooking, but to have a husband who I can do experimental cooking on is the best!  I started cooking a lot for myself in my junior year of college.  I really didn't have to do much cooking before that, with parents, fast food cooks, roommates and such.  I enjoyed it from the beginning and I definitely have a love for cookbooks.  I work retail and we are across from Barnes and Noble, and every time I leave they have a section by the door of on sale books.  It always gets me! They are usually cookbooks, my weakness.  After I graduated college I got a couple of cookbooks and realized that it was more of a love than an "I just like" to cook... To put all these ingredients together and at the end come out with what is (hopefully) an amazing masterpiece  is such a great feeling.  People actually liking your masterpiece is an even better feeling.  Cooking is also not something that a husband would ever get tired of you doing, (I wouldn't think so anyways!) and it just makes me so happy!  

     So, here I am at the beginning of my marriage (Wow, 4 months today!) trying to become a better cook.  I have about 5 signature dishes, and really, it's just recently that I realized 5 dishes for the rest of our lives simply won't be enough!  Though, Mr. Bloom loves them, I feel the need to expand my horizons..  And this is definitely not a venture that Mr. Bloom is opposed to!! Haha. I am fully supported!  So, being that I love to write, I felt that I should blog about my journey in this new venture of mine.  The recipes I am using, things I learn to do and NOT to do, and any little anecdotes that might help you get to know me a little better... Who knows, it  might help other newlyweds (or anyone for that matter!) know that they are not alone if they ever find themselves in this situation.. Being a newlywed is a learning process, and learning to cook for two is just a small piece of the pie! ; ) 

            With that... I think I am officially, A Cook in Bloom!

Enjoy!
