New Beginnings

Biographies have never failed to inspire me not only to be different and try new things, but to dare to fail. I watched Julie & Julia again yesterday afternoon. Once again, the movie inspired me to cook. The way Julia Child discover her love for food and cooking was amazing. And how Julie Powell cooked just to get away from everything and felt the assurance, was amazing too. Of course, watching them cook oh-so-passionately made me hungry. *giggles*

So I have decided to religiously start trying new dish every month.

First stop, Chicken Croquettes. I have posted the recipe at http://ahmar-loves-food.blogspot.com/ .. I created the food blog, well just because and of course for the love of food.

I shall set a deadline for myself. At the end of 2010, I must complete at least 30 new recipes. 30 sound very small but I think it is a very good start for me to go against my hectic schedule. Cooking is indeed therapeutic and I can spread my love to everyone through my food.

Well, Good Luck to me!

Next on my list is Spanish class. I am praying hard that my plans to Barca come true. I feel envious that my friend went to Barca for a business trip. How I wish that was me. I could hear the Catalans from the locals, see the different kind of tapas (food again), the night life, the beach, practice my "rusted" Spanish, go to Camp Nou!! and also, visit castles and the history of Catalina, if she were at Barca. So many things I can do there. So my investment to take up Spanish will be worthwhile should I go to Barca. No, it will not go to waste even if I do not go to Barca. It is a language that I appreciate. I can escape to my own world by listening to Spanish songs, especially flamencos and of course, David Bisbal (mi amor). *giggles*

Nothing is impossible. What I have learnt from past inventors is always give it a shot. You will never know what's in store for you.
