I recently applied to the Culinary Institute of America for a bachelors is Business Management with a Culinary Arts focus. Ah! I mean, what a beautiful thing. I’ve always loved cooking and if you ask some of the recent eaters of my food they would say that I love cooking as well. Especially that Thai Red Curry, right Amanda?
After weeks of yoga and refreshing the admissions website waiting to see if I got accepted to the school, the advisor finally answered the first of 200(exaggerating) calls I made to her. Being in India with 12hrs and a half of time difference really makes it difficult to communicate with anyone let alone a busy college advisor. I digress. She answered the call and tells me that I basically got accepted. That she is 99% sure that the board is going to accept me and that I will be going to the school in January. Woohoo!
In the meantime I’ll be here. In India. Learning everything I can from the amazing people that have been teaching me everything they know about cooking. Currently it is Northern Indian food in Dharamshala and in a few weeks I’ll get a taste of what is Central and South Indian food is like while I am in Varanasi. I already know it is going to be much different that what I have been eating here and I’m excited about it.
For now I’ll keep reading my books with culinary themes, as well as magazines. Soon enough the time will come. I’ll have lived in India for three and a half months visited Hong Kong and Seoul on my way back and would have packed and drove a truck while towing my car all the way from Miami to NY. The first day of school seems far away now but I know it’ll happen sooner than I think.
No real food in this post but I wanted to share what has been happening and what is going to happen. Thanks for reading. Be sure to look out for my next post on traveling. I’m going to share my first trip to Peru in 2010 and what it felt like to be me during that time.
