I know it's very "first world" but I am super grateful for the Food Network. Because of it my cooking skills have increased ten-fold. I have grown from Velveeta Mac 'n Cheese and Hamburger Helper to complex dishes with flavors I had never even heard of growing up! It's helped me be brave in experimenting with spices, go "rogue" from the recipe every so often (not so easy for a Type A let me tell you), and be willing to expand my food experiences into other cultures outside of the mid-west fare I grew up on. Seriously, the Food Network introduced me to a whole new and fantastic world of cooking and I, and I'm hoping my family, am so grateful.
I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
