CSD Is Dead! Long Live The Savage Kitchen!

In a brutal and grotesque fit, I terminated the short-lived food blog known as CSD Foodstuffs with extreme prejudice. It was a quiet death, which was fitting since CSD lived a relatively quiet life. A multitude of issues concerning direction and identity kept this little blog that could from reaching worldwide appeal. And let's face it, the name was a mouthful. CSD Foodstuffs, it kind of sounds like the textbook you find in the bargain bin at the local Borders. Certainly nothing a person inspired by it's ramblings would feel good telling someone else about. It was doomed from the start, dead man walking and all of that.

But, like a bad horror film, the beast always rises again. And from the bland and colorless ashes of CSD arises the Savage Kitchen. A blog committed to the same ideals as CSD, but with a bit more of the patented "charming fury" I'm so known for. So from here on out, whenever I refer to this blog, I will be referring to The Savage Kitchen. Any posts from beyond this date that I previously referred to CSD Foodstuffs will now be referring to The Savage Kitchen. Get it? Got it? Good.

With the change in name and style, comes the newfound change in attitude. We still love food here like any good food blog, and we still cook as much as possible, but we do not treat our meal like a hobby. This is not something we do to kill time or amuse ourselves, food is life people! We do it or we starve. And for too long we've let other people govern our lives. The huge food conglomerates who feed us chemically altered patties than once resembled cows, the chirpy food cooks on Food Network who spend more time smiling in your face than showing you how to cook, and the multitudes of food blogs out there of people showing pretty pictures of their creations. These things do not sustain.

Our life is in our hands people. We decide what goes into our mouths and keeps us warm and well fed. And if we can desire a food, then we can make it. I have no doubt in my mind that each and every one of you out there is capable of making a superb meal that costs significantly less than what you'd pay at a restaurant, and will treat your body better than anything on the dollar menus of the world.

The desire to do so is yours. The ideals necessary to put those desires to the test? Well, that's where we come in. CSD Foodstuffs is dead, long live The Savage Kitchen.
