A New and Unusual Chapter...

Hello,

Welcome to our very first blogging adventure. Although apprehensive to share our thoughts and ideas, we decided it might be an interesting experience. A few things we hope this blog will be:

A record of our time spent while attending culinary school.
A place for us to share our thoughts about food, love, and life.
A food journal composed of recipes, innovations, and tips.
An opportunity to discuss and possibly even educate others of issues in the culinary world.

We hope to not just type words on a computer, but learn from our readers as well. Everyday, in and out of school, we try to learn everything we possibly can, and from whomever is willing to teach us.

Now a little about us... We have been married five years. We have two four year old "puppies". We are in our twenties and are both attending college for the first time. We have decided to be not only non-trad students, but married non-trad students. One step even further, we decided to go through culinary school, side by side, attending every class together. Yes. We do have the EXACT same schedule. We sit next to each other in every class. We carry only one backpack, sharing the load, taking turns carrying it. We do our homework together, write papers together, practice knife cuts together. We even work together.

It's okay. You can call us crazy.

Although spending so much time together can be taxing on a relationship, we are bonding in ways we never thought possible. Food, being a shared passion, is now becoming a new language for us to communicate. Seeing each other in the classroom and in the kitchen is helping us learn even more about the other, things we never would have learned otherwise. Going to school together thus far, has been both challenging and couples therapy. Ergo, the oh so brilliant name of our new blog and our way of life:

Those who cook together, stay together.
