I'm obsessed with food. I'm always watching the Food Network and I'm currently eating up Masterchef. It's such a great show, I was inspired by last night's episode to make a fruit tart. So here I sit waiting for my crust to brown, watching Julie and Julia wishing I was a successful food blogger like Julia Powell.
Who wouldn't want to gain that much success doing something so joyful and delicious everyday? I'd love to pull a Julia Child and go to cooking school in France, live like the french while disregarding the size of my waistline in the process. It all sounds so dreamy, creamy and scrumptious! What a life!
Since moving in with my boyfriend I've found myself in the kitchen everyday to make us our meals. I've become quite good at the "traditional" family type meals that I never thought I could make as good as my mom does. Roasting pork is so easy, we've come up with this yummie pulled pork shepherd's pie recipe I've made a couple times now, and I've started baking quite regularly as well. Before the fruit tart, we made butter tarts for the first time. It was a nice midnight adventure that turned out really tasty. I really could see myelf getting serious about some kind of cooking career. We always talk about opening our own restaurant some day. I've always dreamed of living on top of my own bakery or cafe/book store. It would be awesome to some day actually do something that gutsy.
It may seem like a recycled hobby that so many other, and more talented people delve into, but for me food has always been a big part of my life. Both my parents are great cooks, Brock and I share the same passion for food, which is why I consider myself such an emerging foodie.
For now, all I can do is attempt my Pinterest recipes, maybe come up of some more originals, and possibly start the food blog I've always meant to pursue.
Bon Apétit!
