Culinary Adventures

I've always loved food. I can look through cookbooks for hours upon hours. I also always loved to eat. Well, that's not entirely true. If you know me, you know that my gastrointestinal system has always been a bit out of whack (and if you really know me, you know that is putting it lightly). I loved the taste of food, but was not a big fan of how food made me feel. So, I (along with the help of a surgeon) remedied that by having the old gallbladder removed. Good times.

Now that I am sans gallbladder, I am also sans tummy problems (for the most part). So, I thought about what I could do now that I am finished with UT. Mom, Dad, and I toured the WSCC kitchen and were blown away. What an incredible facility they have! And now, ladies and gents, I am a part of that place. I am in their culinary arts program and plan on getting an associates degree in both hot foods and baking.

I thought that I could use this blog to log all of my various culinary adventures for others to read, and as a way to look back on these two years to see how I will grow as a cook and as a person. So, prepare for some culinary adventures, folks... it's going to be a spicy ride.
