A Deviation From the Plan

My plan this week was to write about cholent. It was featured on NPR last week in a conversation explaining the origins of the crock pot. It's a fascinating article, and I have a few different recipes up my sleeve as it is my significant other's favorite food. However, I was up last night and I came upon this buzzfeed post that I just could pass by. It's called "23 Comfort Food Mash-Ups That Were Meant To Be." Although some ideas threatened to make me violently ill, others sounded very delectable.

I have always been one of those strange people that likes to cook experimentally and mix things that weren't meant to be mixed. I  get these strange food cravings from my mom, while my sister always looks on in disgust. I love the taste of spicy jam with chocolate, honey with feta cheese, and my all-time favorite: chocolate cake with basil. These ideas excite me, and I can't wait to try making pb&j pie and cereal language (and I have been devouring cookie dough with peanut butter for years!).

With that, I encourage you all to look at this wonderful article and experiment with mixing foods that you love, with the potential of creating something amazing.
