Birthday weekend is over!
I feel a bit hungover. Probably as one should, post birthday celebrations, but this feeling is mostly from food.
I ate out waaay too much over the last few days. So much that I’m feeling heavy and sluggish and just gross. I realized at dinner last night with Kepa’s family that I was really missing my food. The food I make myself, especially over the last few months, is so much better than the majority of what I had this weekend.
That was a revelation. That is one revelation I’ve never had before because previously I’ve always thought my food was somehow subpar to what I could get at any place where they cook for me. Since I didn’t really start cooking for myself until I was 23 or 24 I didn’t have much confidence in my ability to produce amazing food. That changed when every meal I ate out this weekend gave me ideas for how I could make something better myself at home.
This birthday I gained confidence in my ability as a cook, without even cooking.
Needless to say, I’m happy to get back into the kitchen after a weekend of eating out. I know I can make more delicious, cheaper, healthier food and I can’t wait!
Be back later for a recap post on Rangitoto which was AWESOME and the best choice for a birthday activity. We ended up hiking 8 miles and went to the top and I loved the experience. More on that later. ;)
Side note: We dropped JuJu off at the vet this morning. She is getting fixed today! Poor puppy. Send her good wishes. xoxo
