As you may know, dear readers, food has become my hobby (some may say "obsession"), now that I live in NYC. And while I've generally had a pretty nice metabolism, if I didn't dance almost everyday and walk everywhere, there's no way I could eat all the food I do and still retain my pleasing, girlish figure :P But thankfully, I do, so I can partake in pretty much anything my little heart desires (in moderation - of course!).
I've been thinking recently a lot about trying to start some sort of Kickstarter event to raise money for a project I really wanted to do. But I couldn't think of anything of the size I wanted to tackle that people would give me money for to accomplish. But then I had a burst of inspiration this morning (well, this afternoon, since it was about 3pm it came to me) - why not do a Pinterest Food Challenge? I have several boards on Pinterest, one of which is labelled "Good Lookin' Recipes". How fun would it be to work through making the recipes? I've already tried several, and I must say - it's pretty fun, with usually delicious results. Now, I'm not going to make a Kickstarter out of it, since I don't think people would really give me money to buy supplies and whatnot for a project like this (though if you wanted to, I most certainly wouldn't object!)- but it's still something I'd love to do, and I can just budget my money for these recipes instead of what I normally make.
So, I think I'll give it a try. I'm not sure how long it will take, since I am constantly adding to my Pinterest board, and there are already 129 pins up there, already. But I will try new recipes, photograph them (if I remember- although they probably won't be the most magnificent food pictures - sorry, but I'm not a technological genius), and write about the experiences I have here for you to read. I'll hopefully be able to expand my own cook book as I do this - which is always a nice thing. I guess I should set some parameters, though I haven't thought about them yet. While, ideally, I would love to make three new recipes each week, I'm going to say I'll make 2/wk - and if I end up making more I'll feel super accomplished!
So, here I go. I'm going to make 2 recipes/wk from my Pinterest board "Good Lookin' Recipes" and share the results with you, my dear readers. And since I can only eat so much, and am generally not a huge fan of sweets, plenty of my NYC friends will get to partake in the glorious riches that will issue forth from my tiny kitchen. Cheers!
