OK, I AM COMMITTED! Those of you who know me well know that I prepared to make the big leap as I turned 50 this month by committing to doing 50 new things within the year. I always do that during the decade changes and it is so much fun to experience new things, broaden my horizons, stretch my imagination, make new friends..... (I still haven't had to succumb to getting the last minute tattoo I keep threatening to get as I get down to the homestretch!)....The amazing thing is that I have done that exercise for THREE big birthdays now and I STILL haven't run out of things to do! Soooo, I had so much fun this past year reaching that goal that I was trying to think what to do this year to help me realize every day is a gift, and a gift to share with those that I love. Somewhere along the way I remembered this little blog that my family talked me into starting two years ago that seemed to go by the wayside as life happened. As many of you know, almost every night at the Reyer household involves food (and usually wine). The reality is that we don't usually get to eat until around 9:00 or 10:00, but that is the fun of spending the evening with those that I love, hearing about their day and knowing that I am trying to impart to my children the value of good food and family time. Oh, and did I mention, that we do LOVE our food?! While my culinary skills are limited, I do enjoy learning how to cook new foods, trying new processes, and simply venturing out into the abyss of all things edible (and drinkable). So, here is my goal for the next twelve months that I formulated today (after being coached a bit by my special friend, Kristin, who really knows how to blog and just put it out there)....
- work hard at blogging weekly about the meals we shared during the week
- experiment with one new food or beverage item per month
- shake a bit of my Scorpio mindset of keeping things to myself by sharing the culinary triumphs as well as the defeats with the world (OK, this is a bit of a leap for me so be kind....).
I don't really intend for people to read this regularly, but if you do read any part of this, know that I appreciate that you cared enough to check it out and spend your valuable time with my family and friends in our kitchen. This is my world. Welcome to it. If you know me, you know the door is always open and the kitchen is always warm. Bon appétit!
