Changes

It's amazing how much can change in a week. You can decide to go back to school, find a new spiritual path (or name the one you were already on) and accept that you can't change your circumstances. As you can see I've changed what my blog is about. I will still talk about food, but my life is consumed by so much more. I read so constantly that the words I read and write are starting to dominate my thoughts. Food is in there, but it isn't so much in the front right now.
I've attempted to make my living with food and due to my own desires and the job options out there it isn't working out so well. I'm going back to my other first love: books, specifically books for youth (I hesitate to say kids because teens don't think of themselves that way and I hesitate to say teens because I also read and write the stuff 9 year olds like).
So a new face on my blog, but now it feels more organic, more like a reflection of the inner workings of my mind. Now you will find book reviews and story ideas as well as the random reference to mental illness in the world and the delicious dish I cooked last night.
Enjoy!

blahness

No I haven't posted anything in a week. And no I haven't written recipes for the week. No, I didn't get the job I wanted. It's my Saturday and I feel blah. I have things I'd love to be doing like writing interesting and thoughtful posts on food and mental illness or sewing my new bag, but all I can manage is to sit here and right this while I watch What Not To Wear. Have I fizzled out from a period of bursting creativity or is this mild depression?

Comfortably Numb Interview

I just listened to a great and concise interview with author Charles Barber about his new book, Comfortably Numb, and his own experiences with mental illness.
