Halloween kicks it all off. Before you know it, you see a worker at Trader Joe's dressed up as a turkey. The Food Network starts to air Thanksgiving themed shows. Bakeries have printed out signs regarding ordering pie.
There is something about this time of year; it makes you stop and think for a moment: of the things that you have learned, in the ways that you have grown, and of the good and bad experiences that you have come across.
Sometime, you get so caught up in life, you forget to be grateful. So here are some things I am grateful for regarding my culinary experience:
* For my supportive husband, for my friends, and family who encouraged me to persevere
* For God for listenting to my many prayers of "Help me! I'm sinking!"
* For my first boss, Joey, who pushed me hard because it was good for me (even if it didn't feel good.)
* For hot showers
*For long oven mints and the Chinese burn ointment my mom gave me
*For being able to do what I love
*For coffee, good and strong and lots of it
*For family meals
*For flat sheet pans, Silpats, offset spatulas, and my santoku knife...
Happy Thanksgiving!
