I'm talking about food.
For the past few days I've been considering purchasing a few cookbooks to educate and familiarize myself with a certain cuisine. I'm thinking French or Japanese, but probably French, for now. I'm debating between Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking and Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table, but I have yet to actually flip through them at a bookstore before making any rash decisions.
I feel like I'm taking a really big risk. I mean, really, French cuisine? It sounds daunting and kind of impossible for where I am now, but I want to be challenged. I want to experience something new, so maybe emerging myself into the depths of a new style and culture--a new level of food and sophistication--may be good for me, maybe...
And then there's this other thing on my mind. In the past month I began--I guess you could call it this--a lifestyle change, not just a come-and-go health kick or one of those fad diets. I'm actually paying more attention to what foods I put in my body; I'm discovering healthy alternatives to be used in place of things like butter and sugar and unnatural oils, while all at the same time trying to make the food still just as delicious. I'm not saying healthy can't be delicious, but I have a lot to learn before I really try to come up with anything on my own.
