Do you know what excites you? What makes your heart beat? What makes you feel good and warm inside? What makes your toes curl up because you’re happy?
I do. For me one of those things is food. I genuinely love and am passionate about food. I love to taste different herbs and spices and guess what went into a meal. I love to have sauce dripping down my hands. I love to try out new foods and just enjoy the taste of somewhere new through food. I love the smell of spices and herbs on my hands. I love how they linger for days, and make me smile at every whiff of their scent.
Yes yes, food brings out my poetic side, and I’m a pretty good poet.
Side bar: I used to write all kinds of poetry, and songs, and I know I still can. Who knows maybe I’ll write something for my favorite artist Davido someday. It is for this same reason that I enjoy cooking, and am going to go to culinary school (Le Cordon Bleu to be precise) sometime in the near future. Just so I can be a private chef who only caters exclusive private dinners/cocktail parties for her (paying) friends and family.
Anyway I’m discovering new restaurants in Istanbul and gearing up to try them all! I’m going to make it my mission to eat my way through Istanbul and every single country I visit. Most people travel for the sights and sounds, as for me I don’t like stress or outdoorsy activities so catch me at the restaurants, and the waterfronts.
I’m super excited about this and I know that by God’s Grace I’m going to have a really great time. I’m also super excited because God really restores broken dreams and brings them to pass.
So here’s to eating and enjoying great food!
Love, Yoma.
