This is my initial foray into blogging. So, please bear with me.

I visited the neighborhood thrift bookstore yesterday; I noticed that aside from the self help and romance novel sections, the cookbook section had the most number of patrons. The cookbook section is a huge section; I see stack upon stack of cookbooks in various states of aging. And according to the attendant at the store, cookbook sales eat up a large chunk of the store's inventory. Which made me think.... If I were to cook one meal a day- everyday - without ever repeating a single recipe, would I eventually run out of ideas? But, with cookbooks abounding and with the availability of cable tv channels solely dedicated to cooking (not to mention the resources available online) how could I run out of ideas? After all, there are only 365 days in a year.

Hence, this experiment. My hypothesis is simple. I'd like to prove that with the accessibility to and availability of food resources, I could serve meals to my family without ever repeating a single recipe.

But I won't be too overly ambitious. To make life easier on me, I'm delineating the limitations of this experiment, as follows:

First, the period covered by this experiment shall be, as you probably guessed already, 365 days.
Second, the menu involved would only be for dinner which could take the form - at the very minimum- of a modest but well-balanced single entree dish.
Third, for purposes of economy, I shall be allowed to tweak leftovers into new meals.
Fourth, the serving should be for an omnivore family of four.

Let's see how this goes.
