Musing the Culinary Artist, or, 94 Scrumptious Dishes In Search of a Recipe


Sort of like a eunuch on Cialis, I love to eat, but I can't cook. And in this day of celebrity chefs and food snobs everywhere, I feel a bit out of place. I mean, I scour the hot dog package looking for directions. But I also love words and feel I can move them around deftly at times. And so, I've discovered that my calling as far as the culinary arts go might just be to serve as a muse. Sometimes it just takes a little "outside the box" thinking to come up with something truly wondrous. Since much of my eating is done from a box, maybe I'm just the right person to provide the creative kind of thinking a worn out chef needs to get his sauces sauteing again. So, I present the following list of  94 would-be dishes. They just need the right gourmet to cook them into reality and astound the palates of the world. In return for any chef bold enough to undertake the challenge of making any of the dishes listed below, all I ask is a modest namecheck and a sample. Happy cooking.
