Hi friends,
I hope you don't take my recent 2 1/2 weeks of inactivity as a sign of this becoming one of those blogs that people start, all gung-ho, and then leave hanging, never to post again!
Two weeks ago, we left off with me jetting out of town for the weekend (ok, driving). Well, the weekend went fine, but starting Sunday night it was all down hill. An emergency room visit, a doctors office visit, and a week's worth of sick days later finds me at my parents' home in the burbs, recovering. I had absolutely no interest in eating food that week, much less experimenting with it and writing about it. The week following the plague found me catching up/staying late at work with my roommate out of town. Hence, the 'eat to get by' mode set in. No motivation to make a big mess in the kitchen, nobody to cook for... Gosh those leftovers Mom sent back with me looked yummy... You get the picture.
But now, despite the Halloween madness gearing up this week, I am back in action! Thursday is the last farmer's market day of the year, and I will be there with bells on. I acquired a new cookbook last week too, so stay tuned for more to come!
PS - Tonight I ate ostrich fillet! It would have been cooler if I could taste it behind all the blue cheese they paired with it...
After jumping into the deep end of the gourmet food industry, it seems my palate has a lot of catching up to do. From pate and stinky cheese to chile peppers and bacon-sprinkled chocolate, what could possibly be more fun than eating my way through avant garde gourmet? Writing about it, of course...
