Culinary school is keeping me very busy! Taking evening classes can be a challenge, especially since I don’t get home until after midnight some nights and then have to wake up ready for work the next day. I’m not reading quite as much as I used to which feels strange but what I’m learning and the fun I have doing it makes the whole enterprise worth doing. If you check out my Flickr page, you can see some of the dishes I’ve been making.

Right now I’m rereading Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh. I really want to read the second book in the trilogy River of Smoke but couldn’t remember enough of the characters’ trials and tribulations.  I’m loving it all over again. Ghosh brings such attention to detail I almost feel like I’m at sea when reading.

Hopefully I get used to this new schedule and can find some time to write more here. I’m not giving up!
