The art of Cooking, in my experience, is:
- 1/3rd skill
- 1/3rd luck
- 1/3rd willingness to take a risk that dinner might taste awful if you mix those two ingredients
- 1/3rd deliberate ignorance of proportions in the recipe
Your mileage may vary, O Reader, but this is basically what I’ve learned after working in kitchens for just long enough.
Hence tonight’s dinner recipe: steak marinated in olive oil and cherry juice, dusted with cocoa and cayenne pepper, and grilled. Oh, and some kind of grilled vegetables. Hey, the weather is nice, so why shouldn’t I use the barbeque?

And thus, today’s picture:

Where was this taken?
I could have done better on this one — the camera’s ISO setting was too high, so the picture is a touch grainy, and I could have framed it a little better.
Taking pictures of food is, for some reason, always tricky for me.
I’ll post the recipe for the curious in a day or so.
