Food Voyeur

I like to bake. A lot. I used to be a chef and found out the life of a chef isn’t as glamorous as they make it out to be on t.v. In fact, it can be hard as hell. So, I got my butt back in school, have a graduate degree, and work making pretty good money in a boring office job. But I still go back to the kitchen; that’s where my heart is. In fact, I’ve been nurturing a little seed of wanting to do something with this passion of mine, but more on that later.

So I bake all kinds of wonderful goodies and bring them into work, which means my coworkers have a love-hate relationship with me. For instance, I’ll make a Chocolate Bourbon Cake with Praline Frosting, bring it into work, and stand back to watch. Mostly, I don’t eat the things I make. No way. Not that I'm weird like that, but I would be as wide as a house if I allowed myself to indulge as frequently as I like to bake. So, I watch. I’m a food voyeur. I sneak back to my cubicle with my Nutrigrain bar and a piece of fruit to watch and listen to the sugar induced feeding frenzy taking place in the office kitchen. "Oh yeah baby, tell me how much you like it! What? You want more? You say I’m the best?" I love watching people enjoy the food I prepare for them, it's addictive. And let's not even talk about food porn!
