A Moment in Thought...

A moment in thought...that is what it seems like to me at times when thinking about food and the possibilities that lie before me when staring at an ingredient(s), or when totally getting into the groove with some killer metal mania melody...ideas start rushing in. Flooding my head with contemplations and what-ifs. I can't stop it. Don't wanna. It fuels my passion...my desires...my drive and ambition. It keeps me sane, if one can call it that. Some would say I am insane. Probably, but no bother. If you are not totally into what you do, then don't do it. Get out. Change your life. Change your path towards happiness and start towards achieving your nirvana. The last couple weeks have been filled with food driven occasions...some cooking, some dining and eating...some learning and yearning for that next culinary fix and gratification. Seems and sounds like an addictive behavior...you betcha! Go figure. here is went down the last few plates...
