I'm Back Baby

After a long hiatus I am happy to say that I am ready to get back into my blog.  Why was I gone for so long?  Well, a couple of different reasons and all of them are happy ones. First of all, I was promoted at work to Sous Chef.  So that meant some added responsibility as well as learning the ropes of what was expected of me as well as what I needed to be done.  Now with nearly three years under my belt, I feel a little more comfortable at the position. But that was not the only occurrence to happen to make writing more difficult.  I also had a son! So taking care of a baby is not exactly conducive to writing.  He is now two years old and a little more independent.  Summer is also here is Things at work might ease up just a bit.  Enough I hope to allow me to write more.

Since pausing my writing I had always missed it.  But I never could tell why.  I mean this blog is very much an amateur blog.  It certainly does not have the polish and finish of so many food blogs out there.  Certainly I am not sure who, if anyone actually reads it.  But you know what, that does not matter.  I write for me.  I write because I enjoy it.  I certainly don't do it for monetary gain or for fame.  I write because I enjoy sharing my knowledge about food as much as I enjoy cooking or eating.  I love a good discourse on the food of today.  I could spend hours talking about what good hot spots are for this or that cuisine in town.  I could tell you all day my technique for making a good pot roast or ribs. So hopefully someone out there enjoys reading what I write.
