confessional.

It seems I may have a slight obsession with Chinese food. I know, I know it is really, insanely bad for you, but I can't help but love the greasiness. My friends and I go to the buffet all the time. We used to go to the one near Sam's Club, until that sadly went out of business. The guy that worked there even knew our names and every time we went there to eat he would join in our conversation, in an no-odd way of course. When he ended up leaving, he left us all gift certificates, which was nice and of course we used them right away! ( : I am kind of sad that placed closed down. Now we travel up to the one near Wal-Mart. I guess that one is okay too....

I also am in love with Taco Bell, but that is a whole other story.

Hopefully with this new found interest in cooking those bad habits will float away.

it's changed.

I wanted to do a photography Web site, but it looks like it is turning into a no-can-do. Instead, I chose cooking, which is something I am not educated on...at all. My grandma knows a lot however, and has basically lived in the kitchen all her life. Unfortunately my mother did not pick up the skill as easy as her mother did, for at home we live off of take out orders and restaurants. Both are one hundred percent Italian and one hundred percent different, kitchen savoy wise. Cooking is something I have always tried to dabble myself in, but I, like my mom never got the hang of it.

I live off frozen foods and fruit snacks. Not so much the best diet in the world, but I am willing to change. I would love to know how to cook, and I am not blaming my mom but since she only uses her kitchen as a storage container I fear I will never learn.

I think this is a great chance to spend sometime with my grandma and obviously get to know her secret recipes! Maybe I will even be able to teach my mom something in the meantime!
