I am forever in a funk & have little or no motivation for most things - but I love good food. A while ago I got to looking at some recipe videos on YouTube & motivation sprung out of me. I think the first one was a recipe for homemade baguettes. I couldn't wait for the next day - in the middle of the night I got the flour & yeast out & the result was the most pitiful specimens of baguettes you have ever seen. But I didn't stop - I watch these videos & can't wait til the next day! My favorite is Foodwishes.com. As for eating with others, I can't get out of my funk enough for social involvement - that's another issue - I suppose if I wanted to there are more than enough people who would like Ragu alla Bolognese or Chicken with Mustard Mascarpone Marsala Sauce - and my latest craze has been oven baked herb spatchcocked chicken!
