I grew up with a mindset that I would go to college. A good college, and I would graduate with top notch grades, move to the big apple, get a "reputable" job and make something of myself. Well, I did all that, and have been loving every minute of it but there is just one thing. My career. I have always had a good job with a decent salary accompanied by many abusive, selfish, robot bosses and co-workers and have never really done anything thats kept me interested and passionate about what I am getting up to do every day....that is until I go home at night and become the passionate, creative person that I know deep down I am. I enter my "happy" place when I enter my kitchen....bookcases stacked full of cookbooks, old family recipes taped together, food magazines...My point is ( I promise I have one) is that even after a miserable day at the office not enjoying what I do, I take on a new personality at the end of the day when I come face to face with what I love to do....COOK. Many of you are going to this that this blog is way too "Julie & Julia." It may seem that way, but it is going to be a way for me to vent and finally encourage myself to go on the journey I so badly want to and stop being so afraid of the unknown. No, I am not going to cook and blog myself through all of the late great Julia's recipes....I am going to take you on my own journey...of how I am going to get to where it is that I want to be.....and I may share some recipes, experiences, and photo's along the way:)
