That's me in the middle. I was just so happy to be done with school! Forever! Never another homework assignment, group project, quiz, or exam. HA. Guess what, 25 year-old self? You're going back to school, and you're going to love it.
I started the Culinary Arts program at Milwaukee Area Technical College this past week. I got to wear my cap and gown, and now I'm going to wear a toque (chef's hat) and chef's jacket. Wish me luck! Say a prayer for my already scarred hands. I'll be sure to share some nuggets of knowledge along the way.
So you know how sometimes you're bee-bopping through life, doing your best to stick to some reasonably well laid plans, and then WHAM you look up and realize something is wrong? And not so much as wrong as missing. That just happened to me about a year ago. Just like Alice, I had lost my muchness.
(Alice finds out she lost her "muchness".)
I found it again in the kitchen. I love creating things that are beautiful and functional at the same time, and nothing encompasses these two things better than food. It doesn't stop there my friend, because food is everything wonderful. Love, sharing, ritual, creativity, and comfort are all the possible benefits of a single meal. Did you ever think of it that way? If not, it is my soul mission to make you start (didyouseewhatididthere?ha).
