Food

Since as long as I can remember I've enjoyed eating, cooking, watching, and doing anything that has to do with food. I had planned to go to culinary school and get a degree and move to bigger and bigger things working in a 5 star restaurant with the best chefs in the country and even the world.
Though I haven't had the chance to attend culinary school I have been a cook at a daycare center where it was my job to prepare meals for 100+ children, create their menu, and order the necessary items for the menu to be carried out. I enjoyed every minute of that job while I was in the kitchen.....it was when they asked me to help out in the classrooms that I found myself counting the minutes until it was time to go home. Making that job less than desirable so proceeded to find another job forgetting about my love for cooking and looking at the money...wherever I could make the most money would make me happy. So I found a job driving a delivery truck....the job was easy and the hours were good, and I also made a decent amount of money with lots of opportunity for me to move up with the company....at least that's what they told me. So I quit and started going to school for a degree in computer science another interest of mine is computers and how they work and how to make them work. I went to school full time and in my off time I looked for a job. I looked for anything....except food service work as I was looking to build my resume toward computers and technology anything that would help me in the long run with my degree. Two terms went by and classes were good until Trigonometry. I'm not so sure what happened but for whatever reason I could not do it. I decided the best idea would be to take the class again. But at the last minute I found out that my financial aid for that term had been denied due to the fact that I had failed my previous class(Trigonometry) . Worst thing about it was I paid out of my own pocket for that class and it was a summer class at that so I missed my summer to fail a class. Meanwhile I was able to get a job for a small catering company as a cook. Though it was my last choice because it had nothing to do with computers and was cooking.......I knew that I loved to cook but was trying to do computers.
I have been a cook with the company for a few months now and have learned everything that I can about the company and how things work and how the bosses want things to work. I enjoy waking up to go to work everyday and have a good time while I'm there.
Anyway back to food the topic of this whole thing. I'm not sure when it started but everything I eat lately isn't good. I don't know if its because I'm being too picky or because I'm around food all day that I just don't want to eat it but, it sucks. Lately the things that taste really good to me is Diet Dr. Pepper and this raspberry pretzel jello salad that my mom makes. I smell food and thing oh yeah that's going to be yummy and I put it in my mouth and its like ehhhhh. I'm not saying that the food was prepared badly and I know it wasn't because its all cooking from people that I know and have eaten their food for a while now. I really hope that food starts to taste good again because I still it as much as before its just not as fun.
As to whether I will ever attend culinary school I don't know. My brother and sister are there now and seem to be having a blast and my wife seems to think that I will end up there one day. I guess I would like to go but I wouldn't want to leave my current job/people I work for they have been really awesome. I am still young and have a lot of options available to me in the future. If I do one day end up in culinary school I don't think me or anyone else I know would be surprised but for now I'm content where I'm at.
