I am such a failure when it comes to blogging.... No update whatsoever since November 2... I'm sorry... uh... whoever it is that reads this garbage...
Where to begin? Well, I'm sitting at home right now because JWU believes in giving Spring Break at the end of February... Trimesters, dude, they're screwy, but loads of fun. Anyway, it had been about two months since I'd seen Anna when I got home this past Thursday, and her parents were kind enough to let me stay the night at their place (And by that I mean that they didn't want Anna driving me home and then driving back by herself in the nasty weather).
Well, my mom was a little disappointed by that, but I'm sure she realizes that the only reason I even want to come home every time JWU goes on break is to see Anna and Beckie (Mostly Anna). I have no problem saying that the only thing I would come back to PA for after I graduate is to get Anna. I seriously have no desire to stay in this state. It's way too cold in the winter, way to humid in the summer, and just... dull... There's absolutely NO life in PA's culinary scene. Nobody here even knows what kind of stuff would be served in an Ethiopian restaurant. Sure, there might be one or two in PA, but that would only be in Philly or Pittsburgh (and they don't count).
In case you're wondering, Ethiopian food is typically spicy meat and vegetable dishes that are usually stewed. It's rich, bold flavors and, from what I understand, very, very good.
But anyway... Getting away from food and weather, I just don't really feel at home in PA. There's just something that gnaws at me when I'm here. I feel like I'm supposed to be somewhere else, and that feeling completely vanishes when I'm at school. I don't know for sure if it's Charlotte, North Carolina, The South, or just the fact that I'm out of PA, but that's what I intend to find out.
Also, Anna wants to get out of PA, too. Like me, she can't stand the weather. She's not a foodie like I am, so she doesn't have that claim, but she is the kind of person that likes to go back to where they were born and raised, and for Anna, that's North Carolina.
Well, that's all I can think of for now... I'll try to be better about posting from now on... I know I say that all the time, but I can say it again! :p

- I'm a Chef and writer who has an immense passion for what I do. I tend to rant and ramble on a variety of subjects, hence the title of this blog. The "in-training" part of the title comes from my belief that no matter how experienced a chef may be, he or she should always be training him- or herself and constantly striving to become better.
