The Distracted Cook

Today The Distracted Cook  finally became a reality. After months and months of planning, forgetting, losing the notes, cooking, shopping, eating, and having fun, the blog is finally "live" and up for reading. I hope that you will join me in the kitchen as I work my way through the mysteries of cooking. It is definitely a different game for the ADD cook, and it has taken me a long while to figure that out. Oh, yeah, I KNEW something was different, but I just assumed ( I know, I know) it was a glitch in the particular process I was attempting to conquer. Well, I am here to tell you that it is an entirely different world, not just a glitch in a process! I have learned many ways to work around what seem to me to be incredibly mind-boggling hurdles. I have devised methods and "helpers" that keep me sane and sort of on track. I don't think there is such a thing as staying on track for The Distracted Cook -- there are just too many tracks that are all leading me to exciting destinations. The real problem is that I am trying to travel them all at the same time!
So, if you are looking for some inspiration, some learning, some links to really, really fascinating writing and photography (after all, this distracted cook loves to look at pictures and dream of what she could do with the same ingredients - no, not a bit off track, right??) click on the link and join in the fun in the kitchen. After all, Halloween is over and the only scary thing left is the mental picture of The Distracted Cook trying to carve the pumpkin while she eats all the candy that she hid from the Trick or Treaters!!
