This whole thing of me putting down days for each time I post makes no sense anymore. Mostly because the last time I posted on this blog was probably a few months ago. Lately though a lot of people in Washington have been getting their hands on this blog thanks to my grandma and one of my posts. What they keep saying really inspires me to keep going. Especially with what has been going on with me recently since the last time I posted on this blog.
I'll make it simple.
Right now, I am typing via my computer on a desk situated in a small room which I share with an awesome roommate in a place known as Wales Residence Hall in this awesome place called Johnson & Wales University. That's right, I finally got here and moved into my dorm room. I also already got my knife set and everything. I'm so pumped for when my culinary labs start, right now I'm scheduled for academics so I'll have a pretty lenient schedule.
There was a couple of hour long orientation for the Culinary Arts majors. During that time a awesome person named Chef Dawson told us all about what was headed for us. He kept mentioning that he suffered from ADHD but despite everything; the things he said made me lift off my chair and pay attention. He said that being here and being a chef made us Culinary gods. You won't believe what is to hear that man speak. Though it was kind of corny but he was right. In a way we were gods to people because we put the greatest food in front of people for them to eat.
While he was talking I opened up my knife kit and just marveled at the pristine knives that were mine, and I was going to cook and cut food with those knives. I treated them as I would a brand new book (save for the fact I did not smell them). They were my tools, an extension of my hands that were going to mold food in front of me into something beautiful. It may sound a little strange but those knives and the chefs that will be teaching me at this university will make me into a Chef. When that day comes, this blog will no longer be called Diary of a Cook. It will be the Diary of a Chef.
It has a nice ring to it. Doesn't it?
