About "Beginner's Skillet"

The blog's name, "Beginner's Skillet", is a play on "beginner's mind", a term used in connection with some forms of meditation. If I understand the term correctly, a person who enters meditation with beginner's mind is open to whatever may come to him or her during the session. I am in no way an authority on cooking. I'm almost entirely self-taught (unless you count cooking shows), and have only been working on my skills with intent for about a year. I'm slowly developing my own thoughts about the way I want my cooking to be and how to make it fit into my life. "Beginner's Skillet" is intended to record my thoughts and discoveries. If you find these interesting or educational, I'll be delighted.
