Do you ever feel behind the 8-ball?
Now that I have a teenager and 2 other middle schoolers in my house, I do… on a daily basis. Up until about a year ago, I thought I was pretty cool and up-to-date. Now, I find out that “cool” isn’t even a cool word! “Nobody uses that anymore!,” states a member of my household in the “under-15” age category, unable to bring herself to say the word. I finally caught onto “EPIC!”… only to be informed last week that it is also OUT. I was not, however, informed of the cooler, more-epic replacement word… because, you know, I might use it in front of her friends.
But I’ll tell you, I feel even more “behind” in my blog than I do with my teenagers. I knew I was late to the game, but oh, I cannot catch UP! Every cool and epic new food that I’ve been experimenting with and want to post, I find has already been posted 185 times per week for the last 6 months. Just check Pintrest! At least I am on Pintrest…
I could let myself be discouraged by this, but I’m not that type. I also have a the unique situation of living in a Southeast Asian country, with its own traditional foods and delicacies, combined with my culinary curiosity and professional tendency to “health-ify” whenever I can.
