Today was a bit of an eye opener. Chef was telling me that she dreams of opening a store - kind of like Williams-Sonoma, but exclusively pastry focused, with ingredients and food supplies as well as wares. She talked about it in terms of a real career to aspire to, as if her current situation is just like any other step on the way to what she really wants. My perception had always been that she was way closer to that final step than me. The truth is, she and I are in similar boats, she is just less poor and has greater responsibilities to manage.
I had never thought about Chef wanting much beyond what she already has. Sure, having more money and more control is a given, but the basics seemed to be there. It made me think about what I really want and what I am willing to sacrifice. Chef works 6 days a week (though she is trying to cut it down to 5), who knows how many hours a day. Taking 2 days off in a row is a rarity for her. I don't really know if that is what I want. Can't some Sugar Daddy (pun totally intended) give me a ton of money to occasionally make some sweets? It sounds like the perfect plan, right?

My roommate and I are looking for someone to fund our dream of opening a B and B so that we can cook, host, and craft to our hearts' content. If we find someone we'll ask him to throw you a few dollars as well.
