So, as a culinary arts person I work with food. I have often wondered why it is I have been in the service industry in spite of long hours, low pay, and generally thankless work. Part if it speaks to my creative side. Part of it speaks to my food motivated existence and its desire to shove tasty tasty morsels in my salivating face hole.
As thanksgiving is nigh upon us I am having an event in which I open my home and invite all of my closest over to eat and have community. Food, home and hearth, togetherness, and seeing it all gathered in one place I think is why I have spent so long doing it. My occupation was just a vehicle to bring people close to me closer and closer to one another. They are the family I got to choose and that's awesome.
I am a fortunate person in that there seem to be so many that have deemed me worthy as friend and surrogate family. I imagine that a lot of people find a home here on this little space of the intarwebz, a place of acceptance and expression. Its a good feeling to find others to share with. In any event, I wish the best to you all out there. Have a safe and awesome holiday if you are celebrating.
Wisdom and Peace,
Mike
