And so it begins

Hello there! I have this problem where I snack when I'm bored, and with this blog...things won't change, I'll just write about it afterwards. My name is Elmar. I was born in the Philippines, grew up in Guam, became a teenager in California and now I'm pretending to be a grown up in Michigan..so far I have them fooled...I'm not a professional Chef but I believe if what you cook tastes good, you're almost there. I also believe that in food and cooking, passion outweighs technicality. I'm not saying that food will taste good because you really want it to, but if you love it enough and keep at it, eventually it will get there. I know the proper way to cook Fried Chicken but I prefer the way my nanay (grandmother) made it. Her version is THE version and anything else is trying too hard. That's how I approach food...

I'm excited to get this thing going, Merry Christmas!
