I enjoy the opposing views and themes in your posts; it's a great style and approach.<br /><br />I actually decided to take a leap of faith, switch careers, and start working in a kitchen at 28. One one hand, I'm earning a lot less than I was and working a lot harder for it. And bye bye weekends. On the other hand, I love working hard, being around food and other people who are just as passionate about it. I would rather be happy where I work than make a more money and be miserable and bored for 40-50 hrs a week. I know I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my new job, but I do love it so much.OrangeCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00347198205054481394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-16831093197096259112008-01-14T21:28:00.000-08:002008-01-14T21:28:00.000-08:00Tzigane,Id love to have this post linked on your b...Tzigane,<BR/><BR/>Id love to have this post linked on your blog.

The...Richie this is an excellent piece of writing. The parallel structure you've employed is so important, because as cooks, these are the voices we hear in our heads during the highs and then during the lows. Placing them back to back in nearly identical language reminds me of how easily things can shift and how easy it is to see the negative sometimes. What I suppose I have to keep in mind is how intrinsically linked the negatives are with the positives. Stay strong my friend...the holidays are almost over.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828240545995813941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-85905275506279798862007-12-23T13:00:00.000-08:002007-12-23T13:00:00.000-08:00Thanks for the comment Shauku.
