The Daddy Guy Cook

There are things I still wish to post here, even as there is a broader food theme I’d like to take elsewhere and perhaps to book form. However, as mentioned in the prior post, the “married” name no longer applies. Well, it won’t, and The Single Guy Cook has been done and was the inspiration for this. I’d like to say that I’m changing the name but not the domain to reserve Page Rank, but Google has inexplicably demolished that. Still, not worth changing it just to rename as what I am: The Daddy Guy Cook.

My cooking revolves around feeding the kids and myself. However it ends up, I have de facto custody of three little ones under five. The pending ex still lives here, and still sometimes appreciates the cooking she obligated me to do, but her schedule usually has her at work for primary meals, and not here that much generally. Formal visitation would be at least as extensive and less harried.

Also? I found after a while that the stuff I made cycled through the same old things, so new things to discuss were infrequent, even before I fell so out of blogging. This was especially true given financial constraints. Kind of hard to try anything new that might risk the food budget. On the other hand, there are times being frugal makes it more interesting….

The more regrettable thing I slacked on, which has had everything to do with food prep and shopping, is my son’s allergies. How do you deal with allergy to egg whites and yolks, dairy, peanuts, bananas, and for a time a clear sensitivity to salicylate levels in foods. It was a nightmare before he outgrew that last, even though the reaction wasn’t as extreme as, say, eating a serving of scrambled eggs and then getting a trip to the emergency room. That will not fit directly with what I have in mind to do elsewhere, and is very much a food-wrangling father topic.

So it’s The Married Guy Cook no more. Welcome to The Daddy Guy Cook.
