Last Saturday i went to watch Julie & Julia with my friend Manang Eileen and my little sister Kendyl. I really enjoyed the movie. I LOOOVED IT! (= This movie actually inspired me in many ways. It inspired me to start blogging again... haha as you can see i havent blogged in like 3 months.. haha. i tend to start new things and never keep up with or finish them. It inspired me to cook more often. After a long day at school cooking, learning about cooking, learning about the business aspect of cooking and then a long day at work baking cheesecake, molten cakes, biscotti, cream puffs, and other baked goods, cooking is about the last thing i want to do, but Julie has made me want to cook more often. HAHA. I never really cook at home... which is pretty sad because all the things i cook at school or work tend to be recipe based and i dont get to use my own creativity to create things.. so ive decided that i NEED to cook at home or for my family at least 3 times a week.. SERIOUSLY. haha. last week i believe i only cooked once.. thats better than most weeks. haha. i usually dont cook at home at all.. another inspriation is writing a cookbook. haha. this one is pretty ambitious. but i really do want to write a cookbook. i wont tell you what kind... cause its a secret. ill let you know when i finish it. haha. if i finish it... if i ever start it.. eek. I SHALL.
EVERYONE SHOULD GO WATCH JULIE & JULIA =)
anywhoo.. i got a new book on Saturday too. History in Food by Reay Tannahill. i was excited to find it! at school, when i had regional classes, such as European Cuisine, Food of the Americas, and Asian Cuisine, my instructors would give lectures about the history of the certain country we were learing about, and i would always wonder where they got all that information and that i wanted to read a book about the history of food! so i was excited to find it. =) i even went to the library and couldnt find a book like it.. maybe i wasnt looking hard enough.. the martin luther king jr library is huge... and even searching for a book using the computer catalog is difficult.
The last day of school for me FOREVERrrrr... in on November 6th... in 60 days.. im really really sad about it.. crazy.. i didnt think that i would ever be sad about ending school, but i am. I cant believe it was almost just a year ago when i started school at the California Culinary Academy on November 10, 2008. Time does really fly. Im gonna miss my classmates/friends so much. It's going to be sooo weird.. not having to wake up at 5am and drive to San Francisco to start school at 7am... I wonder how its going to be... I DONT WANNA THINK ABOUT IT.. haha. anyways.. i am also scared that school is ending.. because WTHHHH am i supposed to do next?! i get like reallll anxiety when i think about this.. in real life. forreals.. like major.. and i get really dramatic.. can you tell?! haha. im scared of the future will bring. and where i will end up. and everything.. but i guess all i could do is take it one day at a time. and hope and pray for the best.
One of my favorite lines in the movie from Julie goes something like (and like means im re-wording it a whole lot because i dont remember at all exactly what she said), " you know what i love. i love chocolate pudding because when nothing's certain. i mean nothing. you know that when you mix eggs chocolate ... (fill in the blank haha) you always know it will become thick." and thats how i feel about cooking. when nothing.. i mean NOTHING seems certain... i know that i can always go into the kitchen and cook and know that this is what i have passion for and this is what i want to do for the rest of my life. COOK & EAT...
LIVE LAUGH COOK EAT & LOVE. =)
sometimes when im at work and im in the kitchen by myself (which is like almost everyday because i come into work after school. so after about an hour at like 3 its inbetween the dinner and lunch period. so there are no line cooks no prep cooks no dishwasher and the chefs are off at a meeting or doing other stuffs.) and im working on making one of the desserts, i stop and think about how im doing what i love and how blessed i am, and i almost like begin to cry. HAHAHA. true story... i would have to say that Julie forgot one thing.. when nothing seems certain.. and i mean nothing.. even when the love of cooking or eating seems uncertain...
you could always be certain of God, His Love, & His Faithfulness.
I am ultimately afraid of failure... but i know that with faith and through action,
EVERYTHING WILL GO AS HE PLANS. =)
