A few months ago my life changed quite significantly. My life as I knew it no longer existed. Like many others, I lost my job. As the weeks passed I did things that I wanted to do with my time. I cooked dinner more often, went to the gym, ate at places I love, spent time with my friends and family, went antique hunting, slept in, cleaned and then cleaned some more, redecorated my house, went to shows and anything else that came up and I wanted to do. I started to feel more like my self again, I felt like I was actually living my life and not just going day by day.
While I was as out enjoying my life I asked myself time and time again, "What is going to be your new career?". I knew it had to be something I have passion for, something I never get bored of, something that would challenge me everyday and make me feel like I succeeded at something. It became quite obvious to me what would be a very natural thing to do. That is to Cook. Every person that knows me knows that I have a slight obsession with food. Not just any food to fill me up and suppress my hunger. The food that makes you smile when you see it, your mouth water when you smell it and your taste buds feel enveloped with so much flavor you can't believe that bite just made you feel the way it did. Yes, food can do that and I think we've all experienced it. It's almost like an orgasm in your mouth. When your mouth explodes because it tastes sooo good. I want to create the dishes that make people feel that.
With that decision made I enrolled in to culinary school and will start tomorrow at 7:00 am. Wish me luck on my first day and I'll let you know how it went.
