So if anyone has read this blog over the past year, in times when I cared, and times when I obviously got too busy to care, you know I have been searching for myself. I have been trying to get to know myself and create a life I want, that lives up to my expectations.
That disclaimer being said, I am trying to make the hard decision whether or not to finally leave NYC. At this point, I have spent the last 11 months developing skills to enhance my resume, while developing my soul to enhance myself. I have been offered the opportunity to be able to go anywhere I want, start over, try again. I would get a few months of financial security to get started. This leads to me think about what I truly want. What do I honestly know now, after 11 months of temporary living? It's also freezing out so I have much more time to think about what is not going on in my life.
While I debate these questions frequently, I also found time to fall back in love with cooking....not that we ever broke up. I am living in a studio apartment that is slightly more functional than an efficiency. My oven and counter area is beyond what one would consider small. Either way, I do have the ability to make one pot meals, and a warm, hearty chili is what I crave. At this point, I have to give credit where credit is due. I normally turn to Rachel Ray for great tips and techniques for making food cook faster but I tend to do my own thing in terms of recipes, measurements, etc. I am also a chili novice. So I tip my hat, try this recipe. It is just amazing, and even more delicious the day after. The only change I would make is that I prefer cheddar not smoked Gouda, but to each his/her own cheese choice is fully appropriate.
