hard to believe it's been almost three years (?) since i posted last. even harder to believe i'm posting from the very same offices i worked in when i began this blog!
sure enough, i'm still here. i suppose i've proven to myself that my failed (short-lived) career in advertising was in fact not a reflection on my work ethic or ability to succeed in the workplace. though i still have much to prove (to myself and to others), i've made some progress in those three years.
so, anyway, i need to re-orient this blog. for a long time it was a trusty and snazzy-looking deposit box for my thoughts about anything at all, but these days, blogs are too sophisticated for scatter-brained, slightly pathetic, totally unfocused musings on uncommon themes. i'm not sure if this should be about cooking/baking, though i'd like it to be, i just don't know if i'm truly GOOD at it. i suppose i could write about the process of determining whether or not i am good at it...
... one thing is for certain: no matter how times change, cooking always makes me happy. and it makes things better. i love the process of preparing food, watching it change forms and adopt new flavors. i love plating and presenting it, and serving it (especially to people i love). my main challenges in the cooking department are that i don't manage time well and i'm not good at following directions. oh, and i'm REALLY not good at reading ingredient lists thoroughly. every time i make something, i forget at least one ingredient (usually the most crucial one), and i try to confidently swap it with something else but never know if the dish tastes as it was intended to taste… maybe i could write about my mission to be a more disciplined chef?! hmm…
