Back for the first time.

It has been a year and a half since my last post.. Almost to the day, And that's ok. I attempt to do things I like when i like as to not force myself to do something my heart is not totally into. 

Moving forward with the blog I have several purposes I hope to accomplish while improving and practicing my writing.

• I like writing. It is therapeutic and enjoyable to me.
• I want to finish (or start new) one of the novel ideas I have. This has been a very long term goal of mine that I wish to start focusing on and completing in regular segments.
• I want to blog / vlog / Instagram about food more. This is a very important goal for me. I love food. Food is my life. Working in restaurants, eating in restaurants, cooking at home. The majority of my life revolves around food in some way. My son asked me one time "what can (his girlfriend) and I go do in Orlando?" I had the hardest time finding an answer that didn't revolve around food or drinks. I mean really, it was super difficult..

Every time I travel and return home with a head full of experiences I am always remiss that I don't record that in some form. While it's true I usually do an Instagram post or two during every adventure this does not wholly complete the experience. Instagram is a beautiful and poetic visual media but it is highly filtered and biased. It doesn't express the sensations, feelings, and emotions, like words can.

The youtube vlog is another animal all together. Not one for this discussion but one i still hold near and dear.

So i think the first thing to do is to go back to the beginning.  Pull from the grave (google photos) some of the most enjoyable and memorable food experiences and regale those here on the blog.
