Okay. Back to business (but really, please vote! This $10K can make the difference between us making our budget or not.)
Funny how things change. Isn’t it?
If you would have told me one year ago that I’d be opening a restaurant–a mac and cheese restaurant, with a girl I hardly knew–I would have laughed. Really, who does that?
And now it’s fall again, and I put an extra layer on when I walk Ema in the mornings. But I’m not sitting behind a desk. I’m sitting at a cafe, at 9:30am, trying to finish this post so I can continue my search for used equipment. Who would have thought…
Think about it. What aspect of your life did you not expect? Is there anything that makes you think, “Damn. I never saw that coming.”
No? Really? Well maybe that should be somewhat of a priority. Make a change, even a small one, and see how it feels. Plant a garden, start running, take up yoga–start anything that can grow and evolve, and see what happens one year from today. Who knows, maybe you have gift you never knew about.
There are constants in my life though. Things I can count on to stay the same. Alejandro, my most important constant . . . and this gravlax recipe. I have wanted to make this recipe for ages– since I first saw it in Saveur.
And now, a year later, I made gravlax. Damn good gravlax. And I’m opening a restaurant. Who knew?
