New Year New Food

I didn't make my 200 posts by the end of 2014. That falls on me for not being consistent with writing or having the time to keep up with blogging.  Trying to find my way in the culinary  world and where I belong in life. 
Ate a Chinese fortune cookie today "if you feel you are right, stand firmly by your convictions." I usually do but I found having to keep a job here in Central Wisconsin. I have to dumb down my standards because of the type of owners here. They all think they know better and serve food that they think is good. One guys prices are high for mediocre food. One guy served everything frozen and canned and said that the customers didn't know any better so its ok. Its not ok. Chef Katie would be kicking my ass if she had seen half the stuff here. I can just hear her now.
Central Wisconsin is not the place to go for good food. People are mean, cheep, and cut corners at every turn. I am stuck here for now. So I dumb down what I do, to get a pay check and make it. I wish I could be a private chef here and make better money, but people are too cheep thanks to the restaurant owners, supper clubs and other places that make it that way.

This year I want to focus more on better food, writing more, and sharing the food I love. Ill even share the cut corners that the places I have worked use. This is all in hopes that I get more people to read me and share me. I know I am good at cooking food. I need to validate it for myself. I have yet to be able to do that.  I had my cake business threatened by a local, who turned me over to the state. I got lucky and a warning to shut down or get fined. So my confidence in being a great chef and cook has been shaken. 
Thank you to the few readers who have listened to me and read me. It is appreciated that there is some one out there who reads. I hope to have more for you to read in the future..


Happy Eating
