Aside from friends and family, there is not a whole lot that I need or want out of the world. And though I've mentioned this before, the one notable exception is me being low key kind of a foodie.
For example, I typically watch cooking competition shows while I am eating. The last one I watched was called Culinary Class War, a Korean cooking competition. (Good show!) Yesterday, I went out of my way to finally go try Raising Cane's chicken for the first time. (It was just Ok.) Before that, I was thinking about taking a trip to Texas some day to get some Texas BBQ. Before that, I was watching a show about catching fresh fish off the coast of Hawaii for some sashimi, ceviche, and poke. (Are they not worried about parasites?) Last night, I dreamt about finally meeting an Indian chef and trying out his signature curry dish.
I know food is expensive, and though it's a constant battle, I do keep it within my budget, always. It's just, the very thought of amazing food is literally what gets me up in the morning and excited about life sometimes. Yeah, it's crazy. My one guilty pleasure. I wish I wasn't like this, but here I am haha.

rob: Haha that is such a good line. I indeed do live to eat. I figure if anyone would understand, it would be you.
On another note I forgot to add, but my journey as a mini-foodie has also helped widened my eyes in terms of how that ties to cultures and history, which is often times quite fascinating. So it isn't always just about eating yummy food, but just learning so much more about human culture.
Even more importantly, I am also starting to learn more and more of, not just about how to eat healthy, but what kind of healthy foods I am willing to eat and even enjoy. So that's helpful, right?
