Welcome to ChemEats!

Welcome to ChemEats, the blog where a scientist knitting blogger tries to write about food and cooking. One of my New Year's resolutions was to challenge myself in the kitchen, and I plan to share those adventures with you here.

How do I plan to challenge myself? Well I am aware that there are some cooking challenges that other bloggers participate in, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that. In the past getting organic produce deliveries challenged me to create food with the ingredients on hand, so I may need to start buying random things when I am at the grocery store.

Stay tuned for the first real topical post that will be coming out later today!

As this blog post is published on Monday February 7, 2011 at 2PM, I am starting to give my dissertation defense seminar. Hopefully at the next post you'll be able to call me Dr.!

ChemEats to Launch Febuary 2011!

I am pleased to announce that I will officially launch ChemEats February 7, 2011!

So what is ChemEats? I expect that it will be rather similar to ChemKnits in some respects, but the focus will be cooking and recipes rather than fiber crafts. I plan to share my culinary successes (and failures) in addition to the research I do when I am looking for a new dish to make. I'm not sure if I will have as many recipes of my own to share as I have knitting designs, but who knows what time will bring!

So although this is only the announcement of the launch, I couldn't resist sharing a photo of a birthday cake that I made while I was still in high school.

Can you guess how old my Dad turned that year?

Coming soon....

Coming soon: A partner to the knitting blog ChemKnits, I'll share my cooking adventures after I have my defense (early in 2011).
