What 'Thirsty Thursday' has taught me.

As I am sitting at Peet's Coffee on a rainy/snowy/slushy mess of a Thursday enjoying a rebellious (calorie counters beware!) Venti quad WHOLE MILK mocha WITH whip cream watching and rolling my eyes at 'The real housewives of Beverly Hills' on Hulu, I decide to share my love of food and life with the rest of the internet. Hoping that at least ONE person out there will read this. I am a trained pastry cook, who LOVES to cook what most call " normal food", I really love to cook savory. Truth is.. I have the attention span of a goldfish, and really dislike the whole conatation of school. The fact that you are forced to sit in a room, and listen to one persons direction/opinion on a particular subject makes me want to vomit, this is why I chose to get into culinary. I do not feel like I am an overly intellectual being, and that I am much too brilliant for school, but that culinary was MUCH MUCH MUCH shorter than traditional college, and you hear many opinions on the same subject, I mean hello--go online type in a recipe and I can gurantee a hundred pages on any given subject. But that has nothing to do with what this blog is about. I am an advocate of local, organic, and farm raised products but I do understand that it isn't always practical, so i'm not going to sit here and make you feel guilty if the apples you buy aren't organic. BEING PRACTICAL is more logical, more effiecent, and helps but also trying things such as... biking or walking to the grocery store help to lessen your negative impact on the enviroment. PLUS-- it's an effing blast. I have found that many people rely on this 'Fountain of youth' in super foods, and even more in their plastic surgeon. Unlike the "Real Housewives" of whereever I just do not feel that my face literally being butchered off my skull, stretched, and stapled back on is youthful, it's just gross. Treating yourself right by eating what makes sense (and tastes incredible), doing what is fun, and just overall being happy makes your life. I hope this blog can help with every aspect of happiness.
