Thought for food

I refuse to succumb to the regularities of consistent blog content, yet I must remember to occasionally wade into the mainstream in order for people to like me, hopefully holding out hope that I am not completely whacked out. Don't hope to much- I lay this caveat out without trepidation. Fact is, I'm stranger in my own mind than in my own world. There's nothing wrong with thinking off the grid as long as you live within it. I only choose to write like this because it allows some safe externalization of the (not so) inert byproducts of my rational thought. So.............. on that note, here's a recipe I've tried:
