First, I would like to apologize to any and all of you who visited our web site and blog as I have been most neglectful to post anything lately.  Secondly, I want to say "thank you" that you do visit and I hope you find something of interest that will keep you coming back for future visits.

We have been keeping very busy with the care of my parents, taking them to doctor's visits and a continuous effort to keep unpacking and getting their new home situated. 

I was pondering what to write about and came across a term that is new to me and that I find intriquing.  It's the Minimalist Approach to Cooking.  I often write poetry and especially enjoy haiku which is a very brief form of Japanese poetry.  So, I understand minimalism, in that regard.  As a novice in the food world, I am curious how to define a minimalist approach to cooking.  So, here I go on an internet discovery search to see what I can find that will introduce myself and those of you who are likewise interested to this new (for me) concept.

Hope you're as curious as I am!

Bon Apetit!
