MasterChef

I absolutely love watching MasterChef! I love to cook and it's wonderful inspiration. There are several cooking shows that I watch, but this is my favorite by far. I think, I like it so much because most of the chefs are home chefs, not people who cook for a living. Their passion and skill level are always so impressive. It makes me want to cook more and get cooking lessons! So far, from this season the recipe I most want to learn to make is panna cotta. I definitely plan to cook more and make more impressive recipes. Here's a clip from today's episode: .

What's your favorite cooking show and why do you like it so much? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Goodbyes

At some point in our lives we all have to say goodbye. Sometimes, it's because someone is moving far away. Growing up in a college and military town, I've said it a million times and yet it never gets easier. Sometimes, I think I should make more friends that are going to stay put, to save myself the pain, but that thought never lasts long.

I'm that girl that hates change despite how good it will be. I've heard the spiel of promises to stay in touch, but it's not the same as having them in the same town. Despite, the promises to stay in touch, it takes two peopple to make a long-distance friendship work.

So, I had to say it again, today to someone I've gotten to know over the last 2.5 years. We've had many adventures together, from nights out on the town to tackling her mountain of laundry post-deployment. She taught me to use chopsticks and make up brushes. I enjoyed our nights cooking breakfast food. It hasn't quite hit me that soon she'll be literally halfway across the world, but it helps to know she's in love and ready for a new chapter. We promised to stay in touch and I hope we do.
