If you've been reading the blog you'll know I'm in the northeast looking for work and have had to leave my home in Augusta, GA. I have been writing this blog to help keep my sanity and keep my spirits up. Well, I've been doing a lot of comfort food cooking for the blog, the cook book I just published, but most of all for me.
As I have been going through these recipes and doing all this cooking. I remember all the great times I had cooking many of these dishes for my friends in Augusta, GA. Having cook outs with Becks, having great conversations about blues music with Marion (Who happens to be a walking encyclopedia on the subject). Spend great times at Tire City Potters discussing art with all the incredibly talented artists. Having drinks at bee knees with Rachel & Kelly. Tom with dry british wit and chiggy attitude, stephanie, maddie, sadie, ben, jonathan, corey, shashir and his beautiful family, the list is long.
I really have some great friends that I miss so dearly and love so much. I have had many great times cooking for them, with them, and them feeding me. It is times like these that remind me of what a powerful combination that love, food, and friendship makes. How it can transform people, places and events. I wish everybody on the planet could experience the love I have. It might be a much better place, less fear, less hate, less judgment, and more treating people as they should be for who they are.
I hope a day comes, and comes soon that I will have a job and home again so I can go see my dear friends once again and experience the love they give the world.
I love you all!!
