Me

My photo
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.

Advertisements

So it's very possible that advertisements will start showing up on this blog. I realize that since almost nobody follows me, it won't really matter, but I figured I'd give a heads-up to the people that actually do. You aren't obliged to click on the ads, but the Google claims that the ads will be relevant to my blog... Hopefully that means it'll be advertisements that relate to chefs and foodies, so if you follow me for those reasons, then you might just take advantage of the ads.

I just want to be clear, the main reason I signed up to have advertisements is so I can get some extra cash without having to devote precious time to a third job... And before you say anything, yes, even though I get less than 10 hours a week, I consider the peer tutoring a job. They are paying me after all.

I can promise this: if anything, having ads on here will just motivate me to make posts much more often. After all, the only way to draw in more followers is to become more regular with posts.


That being said, I'm most likely gonna start sharing recipes and doing educational posts and shit like that. That way I can try to draw in some of my followers on Twitter (follow me @ben_christman if you want), and possibly get some sort of recognition as a foodie if not a chef.


Now that I'm thinking about that though, I still don't know if I want to be calling myself a chef yet... I mean, yeah, I've gotten my Associate's Degree in Culinary Arts, I have my CC from the ACF, and my job title is Pantry Chef de Partie, but I still don't feel like I can consider myself a chef... I guess that's the mindset I'll have for a while. After all, those things all came to me within the past 6 months...

As you've probably noticed, I changed the bio I have at the top of this blog. I think it more accurately reflects who I am.


Well, enough about that... Does anybody have any way to deal with procrastination? I really need solutions that work better than a self-reward system.
