Form, Function, and Food: The Mission

So here is the deal...I am an architecture student. For anyone reading this that is an architect or also in architecture school, you know all the implications of that little phrase. For everyone else, it means that my life is unapologetically dedicated to all things related to architecture and design. I am currently a 6th year graduate student at the Clemson University in South Carolina, in my last semester of school. With unapologetic dedication to architecture comes very little time for anything outside of school. So after almost 6 consecutive years of architectural education, I am taking advantage of a little bit of freetime in my last 4 months as a student.

I have recently discovered a new love of cooking, and I think I am somewhat talented at it. I also have hungry roommates, who often times don't like to cook as much as I do. After many meals cooked by me and enjoyed by the roommates, we've come to an agreement. They will pay me a small fee a week in exchange for me cooking dinner several nights a week. The fee isnt decided, nor is the amount of required meals a week, so more info on the exact terms of the arrangement will follow. Tonight marks night 1 of what I am calling the "Hart's Cove Supper Club," and this is the pilot week of the experiment. Armed with recipes from cookbooks, the internet, and my mom (and also a whole mess of dinners invented on the fly), I'll be cooking for 3 or 4 people, several nights a week, on a college students budget (which is almost nothing.) Posts will include info and recipes on each night's meal (failures and successes) and most likely updates on my life in Clemson, SC, as an architecture student who would probably rather be cooking.

Cheers!
