I do love to eat rich, decadent food and I have always thought that sharing these things with friends and family was one way to show my appreciation. So, I first started by getting jobs at restaurants, doing prep cooking and then began to do short order cooking and ended by being a tableside chef at a 4-star restaurant. I didn’t really want to cook for a living, and the thought of paying for cooking classes for personal consumption was kind of silly, so this was a way to learn how to cook professionally and getting paid to do it. Yes, it can be stressful, but it was definitely worth it. I love to experiment with recipes and cooking for several years let me build the confidence and knowledge to tinker with recipes.

NaNoWriMo 2008
11 months ago
This is the fifth year for me. I didn’t make it the first year, but have managed the past four years. Definitely worth it. Now I just have to keep the momentum going and get back to work on other drafts! Big Congo Rats to all the other NaNoWriMo participants, whether you finished or not, you’ve done more than 99% of the world just by picking up the pen and trying!

In order to get NaNoWriMo done and get my office back in some semblance of order, I’ve been playing very little. My office is completely cluttered again and it’s driving me bonkers. And of course, I have friends telling me how cool Wrath of the Litch King is – MUST NOT LISTEN! LA LA LA LA LA – you get the picture. Anyhow, we’ll see where this goal is once the new year rolls around. In the meantime, Paragon City and Azeroth will just have to get along without me.
