It's been too long.

Oh no! I haven't posted in a year. This is a small tragedy. I have been cooking, but since starting at school at a private university- (as an English major no less!)- I have had little time or want to spend my free moments writing about cooking. But it's summer again, and I have the time and the urge to write.
Today, the weather is a perfect 80 degrees with a slight breeze. The fresh air is flowing in through the open windows, and I have a ton of summer school homework to finish. Work on that homework? No, thanks. Obviously, this is a prime time to cook and blog. I walked through the kitchen and noticed a handful of red russet potatoes and a large purple onion on the bring of going "bad" in a basket on the kitchen table. What's a chef to do? I had to cook. Right now the aroma is curling its way through the house and making my mouth water. Two hours and potato-y goodness will be mine! Update after it's done.
