Yesterday was day 46 and I missed writing here. I had an assignment for business communications and I was also finishing some Brisket and Sausage for work today. I was up til about 2 am working on that stuff and then back up again at right before 6. Got a lot of compliments on the food today at work and I can only hope I did as good on my assignment.
Business Communications class has caused me to think a lot. I'm now more cognizant of the things I write in emails and I'm a little more careful about punctuation that I used to be. This must mean I am learning something. So glad that I have these opportunities to learn and grow.
I've been really emotional lately. REALLY emotional. In a weird way too. I was reading a story about 2 BBQ Giants in Austin in the latest issue of Texas Monthly and I had tears in my eyes. Not because I found either one of them particularly inspiring (although they were and are) but because I wonder why I'm not following my God given talent to cook for people. I was reading from Feasting On Asphalt: The River Run by Alton Brown and the same thing happened as I read about these small town cooks and how they just kept going and trying to scrape together a living. They were also very happy doing what they wanted to do with their lives. I've done so many things but I get so much satisfaction out of feeding people and listening to their feedback. Working on a computer, doing a car walk around, collecting student loans, loading air conditioners, and building fixtures don't hold a candle to being in front of a grill or stove and making kitchen magic happen. I dream of days when I could get busy doing what I love for a living.
