For food: Across the globe and back

I just returned from my 2.5 week vacation to Sydney, Auckland, and the Whitsunday islands. All I can say in one word is: amazing. It was an amazing break from work and I have come back feeling renewed, re-energized, and happy to be alive and living in the great city of San Francisco.

The picture below was taken by my friend, Hazel, who just moved to Sydney. If you don't know me, I always always take pictures of my food. I usually take it on my blackberry and upload it immediately to Facebook. If you're my friend, you'll know how big of a foodie I am. Anyway, back to the picture. It was my first meat pie: beef and mushroom at Janet's Pies in Newtown. It basically tasted like a really good pot pie on steroids. The other food while I was traveling was just as good and I'll write more about it later, but I'd like to intro my true foodie personality first.

The plane ride back had a showing of Julie and Julia, which inspired me to create this blog and start writing about my true passion in life which has always been food. My senior year quote in high school was Look for the dream that keeps coming back. For me, it's always been simple: food. Ever since I can remember, food has always been on my mind no matter what. If there was a family party, wedding, a get together, church event, etc. I always asked the one question: will there be food there? I asked it in my head and out loud. If the answer was yes I was excited to go. If the answer was no, I tried  not to go. This isn't the case anymore as I'll still attend a party even if there is no food there, but seriously, if there is no food at a party, what kind of party is that? And if there is no food, there need to be drinks- something to entertain the mouth.

Alas, here I am, 26 years old, and still asking the same question: will there be food there? Luckily I work for a company where food is ever-present and delectable. So as I sit on my bed and listen to Christmas music, what better time for me to start writing about my passion? Here is my attempt to document my love for food. I hope that you'll join me and find my little stories and tid-bits interesting and entertaining. If not, I apologize.
