Escapism
October 17, 2009 –
Hmm, to some it means running away. Not to me though. It means taking yourself out of your normal routine and doing something relaxing, something to take your mind off things that normally occupy your mind. Some chaps have been known to cite me as escapism, well the time spent with me anyway. I have also been called ‘A quality product’ which I quite liked hehe.
My escapism though, for now, is cooking. I did that cookery course, you know; the one I told you about, with a top chef and I loved it! I felt a real sense of peace float over me as I was doing the prep. No it is not my destiny, being a chef. I’ll tell you a secret. I actually once worked in the catering profession, thought it was what I wanted to do and no and it wasnt for me. Too pressurised. When you do it for you or for a dinner à deux though, its wonderful. Everything, from the peeling of the vegetables to the making of the stock. I love it. I have started also, to have a practice day of cooking, once a week to perfect the skills.
I also now want to go on a week’s holiday in France for a top notch cookery course, probably in the Loire Valley – uh oh, you say :)
Now then, the only problem with sharing all of this with you is that if you pop around for dinner you will feel that you have to compliment me on my fine cuisine, well yes you have to do that, of course :) but also feel free to have some fun too.
