Hello and welcome to my culinary journey. That sounds pompous and ridiculous and honestly it is. Even the title of this blog sounds ridiculous but Unemployed Gourmet was taken already so this is what you get.
I am an unemployed marketing professional and have been so for about 6 months now. I have a young, precocious daughter and a brand new role as a stay-at-home dad that has me both excited and nervous at the same time.
My entire life I have always loved food. It started when I was 10 years old and my mother gave one of those oft heard mom ultimatums of "If you don't like what i'm making, make dinner yourself." Much to her surprise I did, and I have loved cooking ever since. To the point of almost entering culinary school when I was choosing my post high school education. I decided not to go that route because I didn't want to take the fun out of my hobby by making it a career.
I like cooking for my family and myself, and while I would love to say that I always make these elaborate meals that has my wife and daughter salivating, there have been a ton of failures that had us ordering a late night pizza and if the words chicken fingers or cheese fries isn't somewhere on the menu, more often than not, my daughter won't even think about it. It isn't all gourmet as the title suggest either. For example tonight was simple beef tacos.
The purpose of this blog is to share recipes I have used or am building and to show you that not every meal is a complete success but could just be a piece to the puzzle for the next meal to be better.
Thank you for joining me here, and I hope you find my ramblings both entertaining and informative.
