This Gives Comfort Food A Whole New Meaning.
This morning I became sidetracked reading someone else’s blog — someone who’s poetic and dreamy and introspective and harsh — every bit the writer I’d like to be if I took myself more seriously. A traveler.
I’d share it with you, but I selfishly want to keep it for myself.
Hey, buddy, life isn’t fair.
Don’t you hate it when people say that to you? Like I don’t know.
Anyway, now I don’t have enough time to write a proper post before leaving for work. And the only reason I’m wasting your time at all is because I’ve had an epiphanal moment I feel I need to share. Are you ready for it?
Here it is:
When I can’t travel, I replace the desire with food.
Was that obvious to everyone but me?
I absorb myself in discovering new recipes, cooking it, tasting it, eating it, washing it down with red wine. I hope this doesn’t mean I’m psychologically unsound.
Though, would that really surprise anyone?
Oh, and here is that blog I don’t want to share. I’m only telling you because sometimes life can be fair, if I can help it, and I don’t like making people curious without providing answers.
It seems unnecessarily mean, you know?
And now, because I’m here (not traveling), I’m going to get ready for work and then fully embrace my culture by buying a sausage cheese biscuit on my way to the office.
I never said I’d pretend to be above it all.
(Is this post as confusing as I think it might be? Welcome to my unedited, pre-breakfast, post-coffee mind. It’s a scary place.)

Personalty I think you are a very good writer but then everyone is their own worst critic i guess read part of that blog it was interesting but in my opinion yours has alot more “life” to it seems more personal and “real” if that make any sense. I’m not sure how else to explain it but its just my opinion.
I guess everyone has something they replace things missing in their life Im sure I have a few myself.
Tim Hortons makes the best sausage and cheese biscuit although I cant remember when the last time i had one was i might have to fix that at some point .
Hope you have a good day!
Well, I guess I should’ve clarified by saying I don’t necessarily want to change my blog writing style, but it wouldn’t kill me to be able to write more seriously for other projects. But thank you, that is quite the compliment!
I’ve never tried a Tim Hortons biscuit — I’ll have to add that to my list!
What exactly is a sausage cheese biscuit?
It’s one of these, with a cheap slice of melted cheese on top. Pure deliciousness.
Thank you for your kind words, Katie. And for the brick of your wall.
Though I dread the day I take myself seriously as a writer. :P
You’re welcome. :)
But you have to take yourself a little seriously… otherwise, what’s the point? ;)
I’m still working on figuring that one out. Hopefully, though, there is one.
Fingers crossed. :)
Things could have been worse. We could have become subject to your pre-breakfast, PRE-coffee mind.
;)
Dude. This is so weird. This post is from 2011 and yet somehow it got sent to the subscribers. So apparently you WERE subjected to my pre-coffee mind!
