I’m what you could call a selective procrastinator.
There are things that I’m really great with (paying bills on time, planning out menus long before gatherings are even scheduled, meeting deadlines), but then there are those things that seem to sit on my to-do list for longer than necessary (like tidying up the apartment before said gathering). This blog is one of those things.

Don’t get me wrong; I love writing. It’s a huge part of who I am. But when it comes down to actually sitting down and writing, I have a problem. It’s not because of laziness or lack of time. It’s because I sit and agonize over the perfect story, the perfect sentence structure, and where commas and punctuation would accent my ideas perfectly. This perfectionism thing is one hell of a writer’s block. It’s why I haven’t been able to really write something, and it’s why this blog has taken so long to get to this very first post.

So I’m gonna get over it. I will write. I will not agonize. I will write (and cook!). I will not spend hours agonizing or editing. I’m gonna write.

I hope you enjoy reading about my food world, as grammatically imperfect or tangent-laden as it is. I welcome you to my journey, and thank you for reading.
