Project Food Blog VOTE FOR ME

You are probably wondering why you should vote for me and for what?  I am part of a online foodie community called FoodBuzz.  Through this website, I have "meet" so many people with the same interest.  I love the website because I get inspired everyday.  I learn about various techniques and food combinations I would never think of using.  They are hosting a little competition called the Project Food Blog.  Each week there is a challenge and if you are selected, you get to move on to the next round.  When I heard about this, I immediately entered.  Food and blog challenges also challenges me to learn and grow as a chef. 


The first challenge was main to let the world know about me and why I should continue on in this competition.  If you know me, I'm pretty much an open book (a nice way of saying, I talk way too much).  For this challenged I asked myself this question, what defines me as a foodie?


I was a foodie at a young age.  I would go to a bakery and just stare at all the beautiful pastries they would offer.  I thought it was amazing how the bakers took simply ingredients and created something so elegant as a cake, croissant, or even a cookie.  More times than not, I would hide the little masterpiece I chose at a bakery and I would only eat a little at time so it would last longer. 


During college, I did look into culinary schools but The Brother reminded me my resistance as a child in learning how to cook from my grandmother.  I resisted as much as possible not to learn how to cook.  My loving Lola would ask me, what will I do when I get married.  My response was "I will just marry someone that could cook".  This is probably why I was never promoted from peeling and chopping.  So that career choice was out, I shouldn't have listened to him. 


I'm a late blogger, one of my good friends Anna introduced me into blogging by her blog.  I thought it was a great outlet but I didn't think I had anything to say.  I was really surprised when I started, I had quite a few ideas.  There was bumps in the beginning but I'm glad I stuck to it. 


My philosophy on cooking is that each attempt at a recipe is an adventure.  There are new techniques and flavors that would be explored.  I even considered the mishaps adventures.  Those adventures teaches you what not to do.
