First, something I shared on Facebook. And, in turn, my friends handed my a** back to me. Here’s the post with the spot-on jokes. My friends are comedians.
Second, I have been seriously thinking about food a lot lately. Mostly, how I cannot cook a single dish. This is a running joke with my friends and they indulge me. I’ve even regularly said I should hand back my woman-card because I just don’t have it in me to cook a good dish. Which is the funniest thing ever because I enjoy shows like Top Chef and am fascinated with how ingredients are paired, but I fail miserably if you ask me to fry an egg.
Third, this needs to stop. Today I vow to learn how to make at least one dish a month and make it well. Well = I can actually serve it to friends. I think my fear is that I’m a very specific person and cooking should really be approached like any other art: passionately and fearlessly. My brother was a great cook. I depended on him so much to feed me something amazing that I knew he could easily whip up. So this need of mine to learn to cook – really learn – is just one of the next steps to me moving forward. Which may not seem like a big deal to most people, even laughable, but to me is something huge. And scary.
So I’ll chronicle my everything with food on this blog. My confusion, disasters, and (hopefully) successes. I’m not fearless right now. I’m nowhere near passionate. But I will be. Because my brother was.
The eggs that changed my life.
