Another Doug Danforth Creative Outlet:

The realm of creativity apparently has its broad spectrum of outlets – some folks who are artistic in design also may have talent with music, demonstrated in voice or instruments; or with carpentry – making cabinetry or furniture; or fine art – producing paintings and sculpture.  Which all are things I love to do, myself.  But what currently has my creative attention is the realm of making tasty and healthy things to eat – using inventive foods, flavors and techniques.  I’m building a web blog based on a book that I’m working toward getting published – so if you like, give it a look, even try some of the ideas, and let me know how it goes.  I base it on the idea of taking what you know and creating from there, like playing an instrument by ear – I call it COOKiNG BY EAR!  (click)
