Welcome!

Hi. My name is Shameem and I am a passionate cook.  I mean it.  If I have a day, or even a bit of time, there is nothing I would rather do (and I mean nothing), than to cook.  My friends and family appreciate this habit, but often wonder about me.  Why must I make everything from scratch?  The answer:  because I can, and because it makes sense to me to do so.  If I can make something for myself, I see no reason to take in the preservatives, extra ingredients, or even cost of having someone else do it for me.  I love to cook, and chances are, if you are reading this, you do too.  I hope you will enjoy my blog.
