Introduction

Welcome to Cibarious Fusion. After much prodding by my fiancee, Abby, I've finally started a food blog to chronicle my culinary adventures. But first, some words of explanation for those of you wondering what this blog's name means (from Dictionary.com):

Cibarious

\Ci*ba"ri*ous\, a. [L. cibaruus, fr. cibus food.] Pertaining to food; edible.

Fusion

/ˈfyuʒən/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[fyoo-zhuhn] –noun.
8.(of food) combining usually widely differing ethnic or regional ingredients, styles, or techniques.

I've developed a particular style of hippie vegetarian cooking that over the years has tended to expand, engulf and assimilate ethnic cuisines, with special interest in Indian and Thai food. I love all things spicy (a restaurant gets a high rating from me if I walk away after a meal sniffling and sweating), but I've learned to tone down the fire level for those not so inclined.

I expect this blog will be mainly recipes, although I may dabble from time to time in the history, science or culture of food.

So welcome to my kitchen. Pull up a seat and have a drink; everything will be getting started soon.
