Do what inspires you....

For far too long I have passed up or passed by things that inspire me. I have been critical in things I don't like far too often and spent way too much time on "what should I do?" in the past twenty some odd years.

Then again perhaps now is the time, perhaps now I've "gotten it out of my system". It truly does come down to food for me, there has been nothing else that seems to fulfill this pointless meandering that I have been doing for years. As I write this I'm trying to think where and when did it start and I'd have to say probably with Jeff Smith. It was him that introduced me to food and cooking and ingredients, I remember him talking about Parmesan cheese and how emphatic he was about using not using the stuff in the "green can" but Parmigiano Reggiano. I started watching other shows over the years, Cooking at the Academy was probably the one where I first thought of wanting to go to culinary school.

Though it's reading tid bit's like this that continues to inspire me. Despite setbacks and circumstances and years of floundering and lazy self inflicted discontentment whining about where I am at. This reminds me again, do what you love, do what inspires you.

Thanks again to the J/J blog... it's where I found the article... and the inspiration.
