Here We Go Again.

It's been an eventful 2011 for personal investment, daydreaming, growth and path-finding. I learnt a lot about myself and took a break from blogging about my private affairs all together (from both in and out of the kitchen and around the world). But as the title of this blog indicates, this is a life-long project and I'm starting to feel that itch to burn something in the kitchen on a regular basis again...in a good way (ready, Caramel?). That and the fact I'm planning to do some permanent relocation to another part of the globe in the not too far nor distant future and needless to elaborate, those experiences must be recorded...along with all the delicious foods and drinks that I will consume, chow and chug down along the way. More on that later; I've been keeping my fingers figuratively crossed in my head for the past couple of months.

There are a couple of on-going challenges that I've thought of: wine, smelly cheeses, caramel and, of course, the macarons. (I have not forgotten those devilishly delicious yet ridiculously difficult-to-make confections; they've plagued and been nagging at my sub-conscience for many months now.)

Okay, so one cinder block at a time. I'm sure some famous person said something inspirational at some point about standing up from where you fell and picking up something along the way. With that spirit in mind, the next chapter of this journey shall begin with, yup you guessed it, macarons*. 
*Note: WITH FEET, very very important.

P.S. "Whenever you fall, pick up something." That's the quote, by Oswald Theodore Avery. Thanks Google.
P.P.S. Hey, I actually did end up prepping sea urchins in my own kitchen. :D
