So I've been on a cook book kick lately and I think this has re-inspired the inner chef in me. No, really I think it has. I mean, I love to cook and I'm not talking about just cooking. I LOVE to cook, and I am a foodie. I've probably been a foodie for a lot longer than I can remember, I mean. I use to sit every Saturday during high school and watch the cooking shows. Rick Bayless' Mexico One Plate at a Time, or Lidia's Italy from Lidia Bastianch or East Meets West with Ming Tsai, or Steven Raichlen's BBQ University. Just to name the handful of shows I watched. This really started something within me I mean after that I was paying WAY more attention to Food Network.
For awhiel my cooking sucked, and then when I moved to Washington State it was like Osmosis or Reverse Osmosis or some shit like that. Suddenly I could cook and I mean cook. It was like I had been awakened. Gaming and Cooking it's all I did.
Well I did some other stuff but I won't say it for fear of self-incrimination.
Now I'm pretty much done reading all the 'reading' in Deborah Krasner's Good Meat book. It's awesome and I had no idea the health benefits with fat, I mean good ol' fashioned grass-fed/pastured animal fat. Which is in part why I am SO stoked to be going to the Farmer's Market this next weekend. Such an experience.
Getting into this organic food thing makes me happy. I mean I love to cook and cooking with the freshest ingredients possible is awesome. Just really awesome. My next few books include A Year of Cooking Light which by the way Cooking Light is my preferred cooking magazine to subscribe to. The Cheese Plate by Max Mc... something which is more or less about cheese-making,. how to taste cheese and what cheese is all about.
Fast Wok by Eric Hom I believe because I love woks and I'm always a sucker for any Asian cooking.
I'd like to say that I've been completely Star Trek'd out. Like I can't even muster a decent feel good sentence in my Star Trek Novel. Maybe after writing nearly 35K words straight without a break has really gotten to me. I mean yes there was a small tieeny tiny break. But I haven't written anything else other than STAR TREK!
So if you noticed I posted some pretty little Pokemon Kyopo thing well I started writing about hat. Calling it Pokemon Cobalt, on Camphora Island. Camphora Island is inspired by Jeju Province of Cheju Island of Korea. I'm pulling from the island's details but mostly fictionalizing locations and geography. I still intend to inject Jeju flavor like a turkey baster and turkey but I want to also make sure that Camphora Island is its own.
Pokemon: Cobalt still sticks with the traditional game/show format but does so a little differently to maintain its own identity. The mirror of Pokemon Cobalt would be Pokemon Iron. I choose both because of their place on the Periodic Table of Elements and the fact that I had named my Professor, Professor Cobalt.
I hope to update you on Professor Cobalt and the new trainers that I've created later on in future journal entries.
