Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate.
Here's the story: I am a 22 year old girl, I am recently single and after years of trying to figure out what I love, what makes me get up in the morning, I have come to the conclusion that my great love in life is food. Now I don't mean Mcdonald's or Applebee's. I mean food. For me, food is like a religious experience. I don't mess around with food. I want to experience every moment of a meal and walk away thinking "holy crap, I could die happy now." So after yet another failed relationship and a self help book or two, God and I made a deal. I asked God not to bring another relationship into my life until I am completely aware of who I am and am completely happy being her. So in order to hold up my end of the deal I started thinking about what I love and how to begin living life to the fullest. I began looking for new things to try or places to go. I looked at yoga classes, plane tickets to places I'd never even thought about going, I even looked into learning a new language...all of this made me feel INCREDIBLY single. Then one day while trying out a new place for lunch, I had one of those meals, one of those meals that turns into a spiritual experience. As I was sitting in food heaven, I thought to myself, "Oh my gosh! This is it! This is what I love!" So I'm going to take my love of food and drink and explore everything the two have to offer, and I'm going to write it all down here. For me food is about more than satisfying hunger, it's about being with people I love and laughing and crying together while we share amazing food. Food is about trying something I've never tried before and learning about myself while I do it.

Wow, what an experience. Have you seen Julie and Julia. Great movie. My husband and I said last night we need to watch that again. Stay inspired.
