Introduction

Hello reader!

You don’t mind if I call you reader, right? Great 🙂 Thank you for visiting my page, this is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while and made lots of excuses to put it off. But that’s not what I want to look back on and think anymore. ‘Cause right now it is March 2020. That’s right. Corona Quarantime. So I’m starting this intro off on a different note…

… AND SO from the darkest corners of her living room, weary from almost three weeks of isolation, social deprivation, and watching the shadows made their rounds for the day, our hero (third person) opens her prehistoric laptop and is illuminated with a blue light of hope…

Just kidding, but what a perfect time, right? No more excuses, I have all the time in the world. Time enough at last.

This is definitely a cooking blog, don’t get me wrong. But I’m not gonna be posting recipes right away, because I want to write about the experience of the cooking first. That’s why I’m calling this blog Imperfect at Home. Because that’s what all my cooking is to me. Food made at home to feed the family doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be GOOD. Bob Ross was right on when he brought up happy little accidents. Of course there is a balance. You don’t want to happily accidentally reach for a spoon and grab the wrong end of a knife *wince*.

To my mommy and step mommy, please use your selective reading skills now.

Here’s usually how I cook; Dishes first (yes, there’s usually a couple plates and forks from the last meal), prep ingredients, another set of dishes (dm me if you want to buy me a mini dishwasher), glass of wine, bowl of herb, and begin the art of professional mess-making. During this time I will probably discover that I don’t have certain ingredients or sometimes tools (although it’s almost impossible since I used to work in restaurant equipment) and that’s where I learn to get creative with happy accidents. With a w&w induced trip in the kitchen we can land anywhere. Hopefully somewhere good.

So that’s this blog. This is a blog for the 20 something millennial who thinks they’re supposed to have it together. This is a blog for the 30 something yr old who wants to try something new. This a blog that comes from my heart and is for anyone who wants to be apart of something imperfect, funny, inspired, delicious, slightly intoxicated and free of judgement.

Cheers!
