Please allow me to introduce myself…

Hi. My name is Bryan Childs. I also go by Autopsy IV. Bryan in the real world. Autopsy in the digital world. I am 34, married and we have a dog named Mildred. This is my second blog. My first is a music blog called ninebullets.net. This (Cooking With Magazines) will not be about music. It will be about my trails and tribulations in and about the kitchen. So I’ll set the scene:

My wife can cook. She can walk into the kitchen, look at what’s in the pantry and fridge and make something awesome. I can pick a recipe and she’ll just glance at it an then go make it…no measuring cups, no measuring spoons and replacing, adding or subtracting ingredients as she goes….and 95% of the time it works.

I cook only in the strictest definition of the term…I apply heat to assembled ingredients for a designated period of time and then I eat them. I measure everything to a tee. I have to read a recipe a minimum of 10 times before I have completed a dish. If we are missing and ingredient I go and buy it. If I can’t find it, I don’t make that dish….and 95% of the time, cooking dinner stresses me the fuck out.

So why do I do it?

For the nookie.

Just kidding (kinda). I do it cause these are the cards we have been dealt. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the wife works till around 9:00 so if we are gonna eat a descent meal…I’m gonna have to make it….so now, I’ve decided to chronicle my failures and successes here on the internets for you.

With any luck, it’ll be fun. I hope to post a minimum of twice a week. Perhaps more, probably less.
