Link to video:   Malcolm Gladwell on Spaghetti Sauce

So, I hope you watched this video. Sometimes I struggle to find a way to explain the way I feel about things or an effective way to tell you the things I’m learning about.  Instead of me explaining these things to you I just leave it to the professionals.  I’m going to do a weeks worth of posting on these talks that can be found on TED.com.  If you have never visited their site then I suggest you do so on a regular basis.  Those days when you’re just perusing the internet looking for the next cute puppy picture or LOLCat could probably be better served learning about something amazing….who knows, it might change the way you look at things…..OH NO, THAT COOKING BLOG IS TRYING TO TEACH US SOMETHING!!! RUN AWAY!!

Anyway, I like Malcolm Gladwell, and honestly, I had no idea who he was until I started clicking around Ted.com and found his talk on spaghetti sauce. He talks about his friend that shows the food industry how to not find the perfect product but instead find the perfect products to sell consumers.  I struggled with this idea of finding the right posts for a long time before I saw this video months ago.  I have taken this little blog of mine and transformed it from being just a bunch of recipes to visiting restaurants, food events, travelling around a bit, culinary school and job experiences, and I have even stepped out of my comfort zone by trying to actually write….Sleeping in my Chef Pants section (writing is the thing that I’m most self-conscious about).  I have done all these things to not give you the perfect cooking blog but bring together all aspects of all blogs into one spot.   I’m happy with where this is all going so get ready for things to get much better!

WATCH THE DAMN VIDEO!
