15 Jan The Unknown
So I finally did it…I started my own blog. I think it was a combination of being inspired by Julie & Julia, reading other great blogs, and having nothing else of magnificent importance to do. For those of you that don’t know, I just graduated from the University of Georgia! Exciting, huh!!? The world at my feet, endless possibilities, I get a fresh new start, I can go anywhere and be anything…right? Yes. One would think. Unfortunately, the harsh reality of a lulling economy and the necessity of a Masters or Doctorate to do anything in the 21st century is sinking in really quick. My plan? I thought was sticking to “the plan,” MY plan to be exact. Graduate, work for 6 months, save up a little ‘moolah’ and start Georgia State in June for a Masters in School Counseling. The problem you ask? My head…or my heart, one of the two can’t seem to decide what it actually wants. The good news: I am confident God has a plan for me. So in the mean time…I am (quasi-patiently) enjoying my spare time: self-learned lessons in the kitchen (caramelized apples gone array), photowalks (that you will have the pleasure of enjoying as soon as I post some pics), lots of quality time with Mr. Billy Blanks (he’s the Tae Bo king for those of you that don’t know), and of course study/quiet time with the Big King himself…I’m reading Isaiah right now.
- Attempt #1: No amber color, cooked too long=hard rock candy, tasty but not for cheesecake. If I had thrown some cotton candy flavoring and pink dye in it would have been perfect. Wrong treat.
- Attempt #2: Watched clock carefully, 8.5 minutes exactly, added butter AND apples…tasted like butter…bleh!
- Attempt #3/Finale: Determined that my cooking intuition would serve me well I waited until I felt it was time to add the butter…nice consistency and flavor, no amber color.
Where I went wrong, I don’t know. Emeril…I’m coming for you. Or just to call you for some advice. Any secret hints I should know about let me know, please!
