I sent in a request for more information on the Culinary Institute of America today. I don’t know what I’m thinking. It’s over 20k a year, and it’s in New York. I know I can’t afford the school or to live there, but I want to see what it’s all about. Maybe there is a smaller, less expensive school that could get me pretty good training, but I’m not sure. This is one of those things where you have to dish out the dough to get the return.

I thought about asking my mom if she could get a hold of my aunt so I could go out there and visit, but I know I can’t afford that either. Which really, really sucks.

I’m also starting a new food project, but I’m not going to show you all just yet. You’ll have to keep an eye out.

Oh! I have a question for my readers. Have any of you come across Food and Wine Magazine? I was reading some of their online articles and they’re pretty good. I’m thinking I might buy the $20 subscription to their print copy so I can see how they set things up, how the photography is and all of that, but I’m not sure it’s worth it. Comments?
