For instance and more specifically, I LOVE to cook- really I do…that was one of my many aspirations when I was a child. I wanted to be a chef. I love to watch all the cooking shows- get inspiration and recipes. But what is so darn frustrating about me is- as much as I want to be this award winning chef, I have no, ah- what’s the word I’m looking for…eh, creativity in the kitchen?…is that right?!? I don’t think so, but I'm sure that you get my point. I find myself getting stuck in the same ole’ same ole’ (bleh) and honestly I’m a pretty darn good cook I just don’t practice on those skills. We are working harder at eating at home and I am adjusting my routine/schedule better (another thing on my list) to make the most of the time I have. I think that I am so overrun with other things that I am scared to take or make the time that I need to for the kitchen, but I'm working on it! Not only that but I desperately need some inspiration in the kitchen…I want to try making new things, delicious things. I recently watched Julie & Julia: I loved it. I just LOVE the whole idea of working your way thru a cook book- challenging yourself to do what you haven’t done before, learning to love something new so much and in turn discovering new things about yourself- discovering something hidden within. I saw something in her that feels very similar to that “something” in me. When I do have a fling with the kitchen I find myself cooking these huge five course meals fit for an army- which, HELLO, gets pretty expensive. I am in search of some good eats, on a budget and for (at the most) four people- does this exist?!? and did I mention that I loathe leftovers- we just wont eat them and what a waste of good food and money!
My passion in the kitchen is desserts- more especially cupcakes- I LOVE CUPCAKES! Cupcakes make me happy, silly- maybe! But there is just something about a cupcake that glistens with happiness. I want to try any an all recipes- and trust me when I say that the recipes are piling up!! However, in our recent journey for “skinny-ness” how in good consciousness can I make “a cupcake a day?!?” lol. The husband has already put the quietus on my mission to do so, although, encouraging me everyday to open a “cupcake boutique!” (Oh, how I would love to!!) I can see the design in my head as I write. Honestly, though, how is a girl to ever open up a cupcake boutique without everyday practice and experience, geez. My most favorite part of making a cupcake is the icing on the top, decorating each cupcake with a different style of icing: love. I know, I know I must refrain from doing so (insert frowny face here). HOWEVER, as soon as he gives me the ok to dive in (maybe at least once every now and then *hint…hint, love*) I will be sure to share with you my “happiness.”
For now, I want to extend that excitement and happiness I find when making cupcakes into other parts of my kitchen. I love to try new things, new recipes- they excite me greatly. I love a good challenge- and although I may become nervous at the thoughts of doing something I have never done- I itch with the desire to conquer. I am steadily searching the internet, food blogs, anything and everything for inspiration. I want to create in my kitchen.
Hello, lovely addition to my house that sadly rarely gets used, however, I love you none the less. I really want to re-acquaint myself with you, renew our sweet love and passion for each other- I truly do desire you. I want to know more about you and discover more about me in our process of our rekindling. Lets become the best of friends, ok?!?
Yours Truly...
