Round 2

Now I'm 23
Sorry I ditched you before
No more funny biz

First up, a crumble
This ain't no canned pie filling
I hope you're hungry

And so it begins...

Hi there! Thanks for stopping in to check me out. My name is Gillian and I’m a 22 year-old Chicagoan, nice to meet you.

I’ve made the decision to start a blog because I have a lot of thoughts. Yes, I said thoughts. I know, I know, everyone does, right? Fair enough—but for me, with all these ideas/questions/annoyances/discoveries, if I don’t tell someone about them, my brain would probably explode. That would end up being a disgusting mess that my poor roommate would then have to clean up, so I feel this is a much healthier, cleaner way to release those thoughts.

Don’t worry—although we may be off to a strange start, this blog does have a focus. I have a good amount of interests, like music, biking, and languages, but the one thing I will always and forever love is food. I love cooking. I love going out to eat. I love trying new foods. I love watching other people cook. I love experimenting with flavors. I love playing with crazy kitchen gadgets and then realizing that I could do the same thing with the 3 tools that I use on a daily basis. I love walking around and around at the farmers market just staring at all of the incredible ingredients at my fingertips and at the same time becoming completely overwhelmed. I love reading food blog. I love the idea of going to cooking school for fun. I love learning about fancy cooking techniques and never seeing them actually executed because I’m too poor for five star restaurants. I seriously love it ALL. 

So that’s that, and here we go. Welcome to my brain. I hope you’ll stay for a while.
