Welcome!!!!

I have been contemplating on making a Blog for some time now. I knew that I wanted to do a Food Blog, but didn't want to do the typical Food Blog.... You know...the..... I have so and so's cookbook and I am going to do this recipe right out of it, everyday till God knows when......Yes i know what you are thinking......" But Rob your Blog's name is Eric Ripert @HOME, isn't that EXACTLY what you are doing?!?!?!?!?......yes.....and no..... Yes I am going to be following one of my favorite Chefs, Eric Ripert, AND yes...I will be doing recipes (or at least attempting) from his cookbooks, BUT.....what I will be doing is a couple of things..... 1) I will be substituting some of the Ingredients for more budget friendly and more accessible Alternatives. and 2) will be scaling the recipes for two people... Don't you just hate when you look at a recipe and it says that it makes enough for 4 people and you really just want one or two? I know I did.... so i will be scaling the recipes that i do for 2......oh yeah...I will be posting Pictures as well. So stay tuned and I hope you enjoy what I put out........
