I go to the grocery store a lot. I travel the aisles of ingredients. I leave empty handed because the ingredients don't look that great and I am not really inspired by anything. Have all the great ingredients disappeared? Do restaurants get the great stuff?
I am looking to spend the next couple of months, hopefully, shaping an idea. I am looking to put one of our side projects into production. The difficulty is my expectations of available ingredients and the accessibility of those ingredients to other people. This may influence how I approach the project, it may not. In the past I have allowed the availability of ingredients and there accessibility dictate my creative directions. I call this Alex's cookbook writers syndrome.
