Superfluity
/su pərˈflu ɪ ti/
Definition: Immoderate & Especially Luxurious Living, habits or Desires! (Ha, wishful thinking)
As Chief Cook & Bottle Washer Chez Nous, accompanied by my Not-So-Sous Sous-Chef, No. 1 Taste-Tester and Partner-in-Crime, I endeavor to inspire the discerning home cook, mixologist, and everyone else, by sharing recipes, and my adaptations thereof, from the infinite resources available online, from my collection of cookbooks; and my own concoctions! And then pretty much anything foodie related. I aim, merely, to inspire.
