Let this be a place for kooks and foodies to rejoice!Um... ok that's it for now... happy kookin!

My Interests

Kulinary Alkemy

I'd like to meet:

Normal people, weird people, stoners, herbivores(vegans), fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks, drunk kids, metalheads, country folk and you.
Ok, so check out the forums for recipes and shit. I'll periodically be adding more as they come to mind. Keep in mind that my recipes are coming straight from my head to my fingertips as I type them in, so just use common sense and your own judgement should you attempt them at home. Shoot me a message if you have any questions or requests. Thanx for dropping by...
