First of all...

Being inspired by one of the other chefs in the lindy scene, specifically the one in Seattle, formerly Texas. So I decided to put down my remaining six months, and maybe reflect on the previous six, of cuilinary school down for historic, and most likely nostalgic, purposes.

So here I am , half way done with my culinary education. I'm broke as hell, always tired, wondering where rent is going to come from, and yet I am completely happy. I get up every day at 5am, and do not regret a thing. I get up at 5am after only getting 4 hours of sleep, and do not regret a thing. I am in school debt up the ass, and do not regret a thing.
It's funny, you go to culinary school and suddenly everything becomes a garnish, or needs more salt, and when you go out to eat with friends, family, etc., you have to keep your mouth shut, because all you can think of is how you could of made this at home for half the price. Dead animal bones suddenly are a topic of discussion when grocery shopping, and if you have room in your fridge for another one, stock not animal bones that is.
It's interesting, I never thought I would really enjoy baking, but after almost three months of it, I have grown to appreciate, and enjoy it. Kneeding bread is almost theraputic, I am enjoying baking so much, I could see myself doing this every day, besides in class.
Anyway, enough for my first post, I dont' want to give everything away...
