I love to travel... and I believe travelling can be the same for a day or a year... most of it is in the brain; it's perception... the fact you are away is often the prime source of excitement... be it the town away or the country half-way around the world.
Madagascar... so beautiful... so poor... so rich... so diversified, so simple, so complex...
I dream of you red Island... if it didn'st cost me 4500$ a come-back-home-again, i'd already be there
And now :
Bonne chance Cuisiniers sans frontières!
www.cuisinierssansfrontieres.org
(ok, it was french... I am french canadian... for those who understands and/or who cares, please visit
www.cuisinierssansfrontieres.org ... it's an organisation who freely trains poor people into apprentices cooks), growing each years. I went to Madagascar to help the funder, Jean-Louis Thémistocle Randriantiana, into setting food classes and on how to rearrange the classes.)
I love a lot and dislike pettiness and lack of humour and liars...
I am working for a big milk company in north america, as a quality control technician... I am microbiologist and food technician, still at university on the matter of R&D in food science.
Before that, I went to the greatest Cooking school in Québec ( maybe canada... see there North America), ITHQ, where I learned from an excentric globe-traveller cook, the joys of food and exotism (Jean-Louis Thémistocle... I believe he's been on Martha Stewart "on the run" or something like that)... he is the men that brought me to Madagascar... my big love.
Apart from that, I love kinda everything that turns up... be it bad or good... I have no delusions and know what life can bring (though it can somewhat come up with the unexpected... always when you don't expect and/or don't want it)
(do you know Alanis Morissette's song "IRONIC" ? It goes like this : Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face)
