The different topics covered and a basic plan for the future.

Hello everyone, my name is Andrew, the creator of The Bored Bachelor. A blog dedicated to food and food related topics. There will be eight different types of posts here at The Bored Bachelor.

The first type will be called "Spread 'em". Spread 'em will focus on dips sauces and spreads to be used with a wide verity of foods. Spread 'em will have at least one sub-category called "A&J's Nut Butters" which will focus on gourmet and flavored nut butters.

The second type of post will be called "Harmony". Harmony will focus on dishes and whole meals that are balanced in taste. Most posts will have a theme to them (e.g. specific ingredient, taste, color, etc.) Additionally Harmony will also have a sub-category named "Elements" which will focus on dishes with the themes of the elements of eastern medicine and classical Greek element beliefs. More specifically the elements will be water, earth, fire, air, wood, and metal.

The third type of post will be called "Well Bread". Well Bread will focus on breads and pairings of bread products.

The fourth type of post will be called "Alcoholic Andy". Alcoholic Andy will focus the creation of alcoholic spirits, infusions, and cocktails.

The fifth type of post will be called "A Sweet Surprise". A Sweet Surprise will focus on confections and candies.

The sixth type of post will be called "Science Slice" Science Slice will focus on food science and ways in which food and cooking can be used to explain other topics such as chemistry and physics.

The Seventh type of post will be called "Experimental Empanada" Experimental Empanada will focus on foods that do not fully fit into the above categories or are experiments in cooking without recipes made with them.

The eighth and final type of post will be called "news" which will surprisingly enough be related to news about the blog including schedule changes and if anything else really excited happens to me related to food or the blog.

Okay now that we have the general idea of what kinds of topics will be covered I can talk more about what the format of the blog will be like and the schedule for the blog at least for the month of September 2014. For September 2014 I am hoping to have a weekly post but I am also starting a new job and am unsure if I will be able to continue to keep up with posting. In general I will try to take pictures of the ingredients as well as most if not all steps in the cooking process. I will also try to have a good version of the recipe in the post along with some explanation of the inspiration of the recipe. Ideally I would like to include methods of changing a recipe to accommodate food allergies and preferences in each recipe, but I cannot guarantee that I will have the time or forethought to do this.

Finally some information about me. My parents claim that I have been cooking since the age of two, in which I was frying garlic powder on the stove. I have always loved food (although not all food when I was a kid) and have enjoyed cooking for a great many years (and yes, I am old enough to buy and consume alcohol). I do not have formal training in cooking and I am also not the best writer as I am sure you can already tell. I try to have fun with cooking and insert jokes in posts so that they are more enjoyable to view. I hope that you enjoy my blog.
