I have come to the realization that I am hard-wired to strive for things that are ordinarily unreachable. I am built for commitment and function best when I am motivated to work towards a greater goal. As trivial as growing my hair out so that it can be donated and as significant as not.giving.up in college, there is no situation that doesn't have me fighting for the finish line. I live my life in milestones and am constantly dissecting the task at hand so that I can achieve it in a tangible and realistic way.
On a much smaller scale, this is the very thing that makes me a good cook. Driven by the promise of new and delicious food, I follow recipes to the very last step. I cook because it feels like a journey, and there is something deeply satisfying about exploring something new.
Just in case you also feel the urge to strive for something new, I will disclose my most recent kitchen victory with you. Roasted Red Potatoes (recipe found here). While this may not be the best weather to crank up your oven, these bad boys are hard to pass up! Did you know that the secret to getting your potatoes extra crispy is using bread crumbs? Round up some olive oil, salt, pepper, bread crumbs along with your sliced potatoes and you have got yourself some of the best oven fries out there. Totally worth sweating over if you ask me!
