my first time!

This is my first installment on this or any blog, and I'm a little scared! Hope it turns out well. Just messing around, trying to set up this site.
I love to cook, and nothing inspires me more than a rainy day. I love to turn on the stereo, usually jazz music, and go to the kitchen and create. I'm always collecting recipes and trying them out, but most of the time, I come up with dishes from my imagination. I'll be sharing my culinary forays (successful or not!) and the music that accompanies each session in this blog. If anyone out there is interested, please feel free to comment. My husband, Bill, has set the theme for tonight's meal, as he went to the store while I was working and bought turnip greens, with the ambitious intentions of cleaning and cooking them for us, but alas, guess who the job has fallen to? This won't be the most adventurous meal, but I plan to make the most of it, with some pork chops and cornbread.
I'll keep ya posted. I may just have to put on some motown music to get in the mood for this one.
