Foodie Firsts!!

Well today I had a first.  I ate Chicken Pot Pie!  I know that must sound weird, but it's true!  I never used to be big on trying new foods, but when Emma's picky eating habits I have forced myself to show her that it isn't hard to try new foods.  And guess what!?  The words I have spouting to Emma about 'try it you might like it'  'it can't hurt you' 'there's nothing to be afraid of' are totally right!  I loved the chicken pot pie...I thought I was never much for cooked veggies but veggies cooked in butter is a GOOD THING!  lol 

So you are probably wondering how I tried Chicken Pot Pie...well I was at the Community Kitchen today, helping my good friend Bithia out.  Community Kitchen is where people from the community get together and make food together, eat lunch together and tidy up and then sometimes take home the left overs.  Emma loves it not for the food, but so she can play with friends, as the child minding is free!  I love it cause not only do I get to hang out with great girly friends (Pam and Bithia) but meet other people in the community and do one of my favorite things...cook together and chat while cooking.  This is how I am becoming a foodie and trying new foods!  The last thing we had was Mulligatawny Soup.  The name Mulligatawny comes from 2 oriental Indian words meaning 'pepper water' and curry is the particular ingredient that gives this incredible soup such a delicious flavor...so I'm told.   Anyways it was so very yummy!!! 

Also another food first for me is Eggs Benny!  OH MY FRIGGEN GOD!  I loved it!!!!!!!!  When you slather anything is a yummy sauce anything tastes good!!!  Oh and frying things is butter...AWESOME! lol

Going to community kitchen and trying new foods sparks my interest in making new foods and of course my favorite thing to do...BAKE!  It really makes me realize that I love baking so much!  It also ignites my passion of wanting to own my own bakery someday!  I wish I could do that...I am just so afraid to take the step!  How do you run and own your own bakery when you haven't taken one baking class or business class?  What should I do...??? Argh...
