Alright, here it is. My 30th Birthday.
I find that so-called big birthdays like this take the looking glass of perspective, slip it into a linen sack, and bash it into a million kaleidoscopic shards.
In the past 15 years I have…
Had my first kiss, My driver’s license, My first car, Graduated High School, My first apartment, Moved to and lived in Germany for four years, Got a consulting job for a Texas Instruments, Learned to speak a foreign language, Got married, Learned to cook, Got a management job in Marketing.
And these are just off the top of my head. I’m sure there were many more moments along the way. I don’t know if I should be proud of all that I’ve accomplished, or sad that I haven’t accomplished more. Sure there are those who are on their way to making millions by 30. I am glad to be on my way to $30,000 by 30.
So anyway, I’m glad that you guys find my cooking classes fun. I hope you learn something about food. I hope that you think about the things that we nourish our bodies with and the smells, flavors and textures that nourish our souls. I hope that you all have a long list of first that you are proud of, and that at least some of them are things like, “The first time you made a soufflé, or the first time you made bread from scratch.”
Cooking is a peaceful place, and I’m happy to share it with you good folks!
