Everything is Going to be Okay

I moved from Holly's house and I am currently staying with my mother. The sound of her voice is making me want to commit murder, and possible become a cannibal. It will not be long before you see me on the news, "Local woman caught grilling her mother's vocal cords. Says it has the texture of octopus..." However, I have found a roommate. Today's snowy weather has prevented me from leaving. I will head out tomorrow.

I am not in too much of a cooking funk anymore. When I first moved in, I cooked every night. I made a beautiful stuffed chicken breast with steamed broccoli and carrots and mashed potatoes. I was so hungry, I forgot to take a picture. I also made a lovely lunch of tomato basil soup and a mixed green salad, topped with grilled salmon. My mother likes rice and sauteed zucchini, so I make that a lot. We eat a lot of rice around here. I feel so bloated from all the tiny grains just sitting in my gut. I have put on a little weight here because I have been stressed out and eating a lot of chocolate. That will end now that I am moving. I live close to the University of Utah's Field House and I will have my own cute little kitchen. I noticed my roommate eats a lot of rice, too, but I am going to do my best to avoid grain all together, or try brown rice.

I want to take my blog more seriously, so I have decided to get a book on food blogging to teach me how to get your jerks to read this. I know nobody reads my blog. I get paid to blog, you would think I would have learned how to capture an audience. I also decided that I am going to make a small book of all of my food pictures. I am starting small and I made a calendar. If I like how the calendar looks, I will print a few out and try to sell that. I will use all the money I make to buy fresh, local ingredients to cook more. I want to learn new recipes and take really great pictures of my food, so I can share my recipes and my passion with all of you who don't read my blog.

I should go, I spiked my hot cocoa with Pinnacle Whipped Vodka and it is getting cold. Good night and good eating.
