I am spontaneous, I cut my own hair.
As my brother Mathew said yesterday, in the Tomato Soup comments:
"Sister, This recipe is so you…just go ahead and cook from the seat of your pants. Make up your own dish. Back when we were kids you would just start tossing stuff together and damn the book. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it became a door stop."
Wouldn’t you know it, here I am in France, with the best homegrown chefs ever, still winging it with cooking! Cookbooks for me, are for the taste of the image; And I haven’t had a door stop in several tours around the block!
If I had thought about how much I was giving up to marry and move to France, I would have thrown away the book and kept on driving. Luckily, I didn’t think!
Three things that have very little to do with me: 1) Planning in advance, 2) Making a decision 3) and knowing what I am going to wear when I am suppose to look nice…this detail is often forgotten! When I do remember it, I often manage to forget an important element, like the slip for the see through dress last Sunday, or the veil for my wedding, I even forgot my date for the prom, and the shoes too! But, I did manage to wash my hair and tie it up wet. Nobody noticed. I am the kind of person, that doesn’t attract attention, because of how I look.
But you know, being this way has served me well. I haven’t too many regrets…
Maybe our faults are our biggest victories!
