Let me try to explain

There are, like, a million cooking blogs out there, if you haven't heard. A lot of them are worth reading (if you you can manage that). They mostly feature fancy recipes inspired by French cuisine with an added twist of Americana -- that "New American" crap that Yelp seems to think is so much the rage.

This blog isn't one of them. This blog if for you, who hardly knows a spoon from a fork. Hopefully you can learn a thing or two from here and not starve to death because of your incompetence. Good luck.
