"At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself." -Alan Alda

After two weeks, eight states and countless gallons of gas we have arrived at our destination of Saint Paul, Minnesota after driving halfway across the country from San Francisco, California. The real work has only begun. Keep following me on my journey! I'll be posting lots of random things, updates on what I'm up to, and lots of stuff about food.

Two Weeks Notice


Alright, so it's officially been two weeks since our arrival in Saint Paul. It's amazing how I've become so acclimated to Minnesota. It's so nice out here, laid back and really pretty. All of the snow has melted and the grass is starting to turn green. In the morning I sit down with my cup of coffee and look out the window to see all of the different birds. 
Jeremy has already found a job! The Monday after we arrived he was looking for jobs and by lunchtime he already had an interview and the next day he got the job. I'm really proud of him.
I'm already in the process of enrolling in school, getting the transcripts and all that stuff out of the way. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to summer school.
But a really exciting thing is that I'm officially a chef instructor for Cooking Matters, which is affiliated with Share Our Strength, a campaign to end childhood hunger. I'll be doing cooking demos and helping low-income students prepare, cook and shop for foods which are healthy and affordable. I'm so happy to be able to help with this program, because it seems right up my alley.
Wish I could put some pictures up, but it's been icky the last couple of days. I'll get some up soon, promise! Until then, I'll be California dreamin' and put up one of my favorite pics of Great Highway.
