I have decided that technology is the introvert's friend. I can send emails, text and look up information on the web instead of a phone call. Some people think that this is less friendly or personal but it offers me an opportunity to be more social than I would have been. I would have been too nervous to call someone to wish them a happy birthday, but now I can send them an ecard or send them a message on facebook. I know more about people from my past now than I would have ever known. Technology is great!
It can also be a bit of a nuisance. Especially phones. People constantly check their phones for new emails or texts, even when they are having a conversation with you. I also hate when I am in line in a grocery store and the person being checked out is on the phone. It is so rude to the clerk! Not to mention part of me doesn't want to be accessible to people at all moments. It is good to leave your phone sometimes and not turn on the computer for a day. I promise the world will not blow up without you knowing about it.
Overall, technology has made my life better, not to mention getting to know people better...Thank you!

Cooking Class
So I have decided that it would be fun to teach people how to cook. Cooking is a passion of mine, well since I had a baby and didn't work full time (5 years ago). I am really excited but also a little nervous. My usual cooking happens during nap time or when I turn on Dora the Explorer so that I can be alone. How will it be teaching someone who will be standing with me the whole time...well, we will see. Our menu will be Chicken Parmigiana that is gluten free. It is super easy but makes a great impression if you want to serve it to guests. I have also thought about teaching Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken. I will post pictures if the class goes well :)
It excites me to think about teaching people who may want to change their eating habits who to cook. So many people are finding they have a food intolerance or need to cut out something out of their diet and they are at a loss of where to start. I have been down this road for 14 years now and spent HOURS reading labels. It makes me feel so good that I can help others with my knowledge. I also kind of hope that someday I could open a "kitchen" where people can come after they find out about needing to make a diet change and get help...some day.
after the class:
well, the food was amazing, my teaching not so much. I am used to just cooking for people when they are here so I did most of the work instead of sharing and teaching...I need more practice, any takers?
