Falling in love with Food...

T.T

Okay, maybe I am slightly overreacting a bit. 
What can I say? I am a tiny bit sad... someone said something to me on the last few days that really pissed me off. 
Remember I was taking cooking lessons? Well, I still am. But I don't know, somehow cooking during my lessons I don't feel all that excited than when I cook at home. 
I narrowed it down to the fact that my instructors don't really give me much to be excited about... nothing I do is completely right, there is always something wrong. ALWAYS. And okay fine. I am not a chef, and I am not so completely arrogant to believe that everything I cook is ultra delicious and perfect. 
BUT I would appreciate a pat on the back every now and again. 
And a little bit of excitement from their part as well. They seem bored... somehow... 
I know that the last two posts have been of dishes I have styled while at school. And in both of them I have said that normally I am not proud of most things I made expect for these small exceptions.
And maybe I am wrong, maybe the reason I don't feel proud of most that I do there is because, well, one I don't get a good old pat on the back and two there aren't things I am excited to cook. 
Normally, I see a recipe fall in love with it and try it out. 
In my lessons we get a recipe assigned and then we do it.

Well anyhow, I made this two on Easter and it helped me realized this.
Help me see, that, I shouldn't fall out of love with food. I should work on my relationship with food. Just as if it was a regular relationship and I want to make it work. 


So here is my first dish I made.  
  
My very own Fish Tacos with a mango cucumber salsa. 
and

A Salmon en croute 

Both really really good and terribly simple to make.

  2. Hi Andie! So, besides having a gift to write, besides having a gift with photography. You also have the gift of encouragement! What an encouraging comment you left me with. That kind of comment inspires and motivates people. So, thanks Andie. You are awesome. And I am sorry that your school's staff is lost in the dark ages of human relations. You are right. We all strive for the best within us when we recieve a pat on the back. It's called positive reinforcement. By the way, your dishes look fabulous.
