According to my guy friends I am a triple threat. What is that you might ask well according to them I am hot, I cook, and I clean. Well ladies and gentlemen that is a compliment I will take a shout from the roof tops. Ya hear that men, I am a triple threat! Watch out! I also like to think I have a killer personality I am funny yet sensitive! Wow that kind of sounds like a line from a personal ad.
Well onto where I am actually going with this, the cooking portion of my trifecta. Cooking shows and blogs are my porn. Well along with some select shows on hgtv! I love smitten kitchen, tartelette and many other foodie blogs out there. The things they feature make me swoon almost as much when Paula Deen says just a little bit more butter! So everyday the idea of being a housewife is growing on me, and whoever I marry is going to be one lucky guy! Yep I am that confident. I can cook! I grew up cooking and watching my mother cook and I loved every minute of it. The getting covered in flour, sitting in front of the oven watching something bake, to tasting the end result.
Anyways I love food! I love to cook and I love to eat. Now granted there are things I do not eat everyone has those things that make them go eewww. One of those things for me is olives! I mean I love things that are salty but olives make me cringe or if you want to send me running for the hills brussel sprouts that might do it to. I am not sure I could marry someone with a love for olives..heathen! No I jest I am sure I could work it out, those olives just wouldn't be in my house ha! I am a woman and we always get our way gentlemen one way or another. If you think you have won chances are you really haven't we just have give you a false feeling of victory! There I go again digressing! okay back on topic....
I also love it when people enjoy the food that I cook. Maybe it is the feeling of making others happy with something so simple. I actually got a marriage proposal from someone this weekend over my food. I know this person was joking but it gave me that happy feeling that someone enjoyed what I made so much! I mean how many moments in our childhood do we have memories with food. I have a lot of memories over a meal or just little things that my mom would do to cheer me up or just because.
Maybe that is just the power of a good meal or the power of the effort behind the meal. But the idea of having someone walk into my house and have it smelling of great food makes me smile. So the idea of being a housewife is not such a bad thing in my mind. Now do not get me wrong I think I would have to have something else to occupy my time but that is why the idea of doing special events on the side is appealing! But cooking after a bad day just makes it a little more bearable. Now don't get me wrong flopping down on the couch and laying my head on the persons shoulder I am dating with the just the flicker of the TV pretty much can make the day melt away as well. Who wouldn't mind doing all that with some good food and building a memory. Food and cooking is just one of my many passions. Hopefully you have something you are passionate about as well!
Flashing you smile and till next time!

Friends
Happy Monday everyone! As happy as a monday can possibly be or in my case sleepy. So I have a plethora of things running around in my head today which will probably lead to multiple postings today so tighten your belt buckle cause we are going to go for a ride. So the first topic I have I have decided to start with is friends.
What the!? is the statement that is probably coming to your mind right now and trust me I often get that feeling when things just pop into my mind. Friends we all have them, some are better than others but I like to think with my friends I have got some great ones! I know cocky statement right?? The reason I say this is because I don't have throngs of friends, I believe in quality over quantity! And to steal from one of my favorite authors Lisa Scottoline; a best friend is just another name for accessory after the fact!
Over the past two years my friends have surprised me in how well they know me. My friends, those sneaky bastards seem to be able to read me like a book! I love that because I can say things without saying them or just turn my head to one side and someone can instantly know where I am going with that. It can be rather disturbing for someone to watch this because it is like our own secret language. My friends will often tell you if you really want to know what I am thinking just look at my face and you will get your answer. I often respond to this statement with lots of cringing or hiding behind my hands. This general results in someone pulling my hands away or laughing and pointing. It's amazing I don't have a complex! Not to digress but you are probably wondering where I am going with all of this aren't you! Well I am getting to my point I promise, it just takes me a minute!
An ways onwards and upwards. I think the key thing to a friendship is knowing all about someone and at the end of the day still loving that person for everything that they are! I and love that about my friends they know me from my head to my toes, put up with my insane amount of bullshit, and still love me.
Friendship is about knowing when to give a hug before the before they ask for it, knowing when to come over after a bad day before they ask you to bring the wine and commiserate. You may be thinking well that isn't a friend that is a best friend. Well I like to think of all of my friends as my best friends. With my friends there isn't one thing that makes one better than the other. Granted each person is a little different in what they bring to the friendship but they are all best in their own way!
What is a common thread among all of them is that they know I wear my heart on my sleeve, I do not know how to love parts of people, I love them completely and with most of my friends I loved them instantly. But each person in my life knows this about me and can be fiercely protective and understanding. That is what I love the most having people I can count on at the end of the day. My friends are my family outside of the little nucleus that is my actual family, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
Who said water wasn't thicker than blood because I am pretty sure in my case it is just as strong.
Till next time!
