This is where I've been

I know, I've been gone for so long. I'll tell you where I've been. I have a story first though.

When I was little I went to Betton Hills summer camp with my friend Jessica. One day we were given a chunk of chalk and told to sculpt something. Another day we were told to paint a self portrait. Another day we paper mached a balloon and were instructed to create something out of that paper mache balloon. My chalk turned out to look like it had just gone through the garbage disposal, my self portrait made me look like the ugliest person alive (actually pretty sure it didn't even look like a person), and the paper mache balloon turned into a red ball with a yellow triangle (it was supposed to be a bird). Wouldn't you know my parents have all of those projects and more displayed in their home. clearly to make any visit from any of my new beaus wonderfully awkward.

All that to say, I'm not an artist. I can't paint, I can't draw, I can't imagine, I'm not handy, I don't sew, I don't have an eye for that, I can't mix red and blue to make purple, I just can't do any of that. I wish I could design a well put together room, I wish I could break out my easel and watercolor, but it ends up with me covered in glue or paint or feathers or ribbon thinking "how did I get to this point".

And I think that's why I love cooking so much. Cooking, to me, is the only art form I'm able to complete halfway decently. There's something about starting off with ten ingredients in their raw form, and ending up with something that looks and tastes nothing like what you first started out with. It's not even about creating a great meal, it's also about the show. How it's presented. Food is so central to, to everything really, and I love creating the perfect dish to complement the perfect ambiance.

Ok, that being said, today.... we are in BUSINESS!!! For me...this idea was a Piece of Cake.
