I have to say that one of the things i find best I've found about being a chef(in training) and cooking in general is the zen factor. the whole world melts away as you focus on the chaos that is the kitchen. every night in class the worries of the rest of the day disappear. There is only the goal set for that night in front of you, and it demands all your attention. It's standing amongst all the chaos of what's going on, and being able to pull out the pieces you need as everything flies by, that I find calming effect. It's hard to explain fully, but for me it's like a meditative state.

I think of all this today, mostly because it's fallen to me to prepare a dish for thanksgiving for both sides of my family. As I am in school, they've all been chopping at the bit to try something from me, go figure heh. I'll be spending the afternoon making a turkey ballotine with toasted walnuts, cranberries, orange zest and thyme. It'll be a nice change from my normal mornings off where I sit around and fret about things that can't be changed or just be lazy in general....

on a side note, i'm really wanting an old school meat grinder more now than ever. the electric one i picked up sounds like a freaking vacuum cleaner, oi.
