Confession Time

I have a problem. There I said it! I have a problem. I have a problem! My name is Kelcy Parker and I am a foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat (I really love to eat) and I absolutely abhor all forms of cleaning related to the kitchen and other large messes. It’s a thing. My husband will definitely have to take cleaning duty for the pay of really good food. I think that is a fair trade don’t you? I don’t have one of those right now so I guess it doesn’t really matter (a husband that is).

            Anyway, there is a movie I am sure you are pretty familiar with called “Julie & Julia”. There is obviously a LOT of food in this movie and therefore it causes two things to happen in my brain. Number 1: I become very, very hungry. Number 2: I start having this increasing urge that is almost unbearable to cook amazing food that I know I am capable of cooking, but as I said it’s the cleaning factor that really stops me because if I am being honest, my problem extends to making huge messes when I cook. Maybe I just need a husband that enjoys cleaning…. Yeah cause that’ll happen!

            I’m getting off subject…. Something that not a whole lot of people know about me is that I was once very determined to go to culinary school and was talked out of it by a few people that did know. Something about it being hot in the kitchen and a very fast paced job (oh by the way… I tend to take forever when I cook big meals). At least I think I do… I may be wrong on that but you would have to ask my family that question to be sure. I know for a fact that I take forever when it comes to cooking breakfast when bacon is involved BUT it should be noted that I use one pan for all of the food and make a minimal mess with breakfast. Why am I telling you all of this? Well… I don’t really know why to be honest. Guess I just thought I would give you a peak into my thought process for the day. Now you know, God blessed me with the ability to cook and maybe one day I can do something with that ability for Him! Any ideas? Have an amazing, richly blessed rest of the day in Jesus! =)

Breakfast:)

I got to make breakfast for my family today. I will admit that this is something I enjoy doing when I am able and I think my parents and sister are more than happy to let me cook. For your viewing pleasure here is a picture of my breakfast masterpiece (plate):

As you can see I cooked bacon, biscuits and my special potatoes. I would tell you what all I put on my potatoes but than you might could make them and they would no longer be special. My family will tell you I am a good cook, but they will also tell you that I am a pain to clean up after. With the way I cook it really makes me wonder how hard it is to clean up after television cooks... I really feel bad for some of the people that are on clean up crew for cooks like Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay, Paula Dean, and even the cast of The Chew. I think the clean up crew for the last one would have more sympathy from me simply because they are cleaning up after FOUR individuals who have cooked different things throughout the coarse of the show. 

So anyway, I am happy to announce that I had PERFECT scores on ALL of my week 2 assignments in my class, and I intend to do just as well this week. I am so happy that everything is going well in school and I praise God for His hand on everything. 

Well I guess you are all probably pretty hungry after looking at that picture so I will let you go and try to find bacon as good as that:) It's time for me to go and get ready for work/church. Tonight is our last night of Awesome August at Gardendale First Baptist Church. Siran Stacey the former Alabama football player is coming to speak. If you don't have a church home or even if you do you should come and visit my church for an AMAZING night of worshiping God, and hearing His word through our speaker. It's a blessing that you absolutely DO NOT want to miss. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE and may you be blessed with the most wonderful day ever in Jesus!!!! :)
