I am sure you agree that there is something exceptional about beginnings, launches and opening doors. The anticipation of starting this blog has been paralysing. What you haven’t started can’t fail and has infinite possibilities. Once it manifests itself – it is what it is and there’s only reality. People might hate it, people might find it boring, nauseating , confused even….let’s face it they might not even find it at all.
I got hold of this first edition ‘classic Italian Cookbook’ printed on the year of my birth 1973 and it was a nightmare to get hold of, I eventually found a good condition copy in Venture, USA. The irony won’t be lost on you as this too is a new venture and an adventure we can both embark on together. This will be tricky as I don’t know you but I guess we will come to know each other. I chose this book because it will bring my love of Italy and my love of food together and I can share it with you. We can get fat together and we can travel together. My job takes me around Europe and in my free time I’m usually camping in my ancient T25 camper or en route somewhere.
I am also starting a new phase as a single person. I have split from my longstanding uninspired, unexcited and ungrateful partner and will start to tread a well beaten path (for me at least), the path of healing and detachment and finally breathing myself back to life. You will be my defibrillator and we can get through this as a team. Not just any team but a top team, say the Man United of 1998 under Ferguson’s watchful direction or the A Team led by Hannibal and Mr T (Google these guys if you are too young, they rock).
To counteract the inevitable fat inducing cooking I will need to start some sort of fitness regime and I am going for Yoga. Don’t laugh, this is a little unorthodox I know but I am going to embrace it and as you are now drawn in, so will you have to. You tube has a free 90 day programme as that is how long apparently it takes to form a habit, like belching after dinner or eating a chocolate egg yolk first.
