Welcome; Asparagus-Leek Soup with Shrimp

Welcome to the Napalm Kitchen!

The name of this blog results from my love of punk rock and my tendency to set kitchens on fire. (Don’t worry; we finally got the smell of smoke out of the house after the last time.)

Punk is a very do-it-yourself ethos.  Why pay for paint-splattered jeans or safety-pinned skirts when you can make them yourself?  I did that growing up, much to the chagrin of my mother.  Then I learned to cook, thanks to my mother (and father, and grandmas).

My thinking is, if you want to eat a healthy “specialty” diet such as gluten-free or low-carb, why not cook it yourself?  Most of these recipes will be easy.  I’ll try to showcase some totally-vegetarian or non-dairy recipes as well, for those of you who have those limitations.

For now, let’s start with something very simple…simple like punk music…Asparagus and Leek soup with shrimp.
