Plans Always Take a Backseat to Life

How often do you make one plan only to find yourself doing something completely different? I had planned to spend my summer launching a new website and writing. I did spend the summer launching a new website but not mine and I had to build it myself - who knew website toolbuilders could work so well because I certainly do not know html code.

It is all because an event, Feast of Flavour, Canada's Holistic Food Experince has take over my life. It will be great and the choice of foods attendees can try such as mesquite, macqui berries and teff along with the usual favourites chia, chocolate, wine and many more will be a treat but it is still not what I am suppose to be doing. Or is it? This is the dilemma for us all. Do we pursue what we want to do or do we pursue that which life throws at us whihc are we meant to do. I am even preparing a delicious dessert item to sample at the event - something I have not done for 10 years and had no plans to do again.

While we all try to figure that out what we are supposed to do, stay tuned for more information about these great foods. Some of them I am quite anxious to try in baking like lacuma powder, which can be used as a sweetener. Others like triphala, which is a combination of three Indian fruits,I have had some unexpected results like the gluten-free muffins I made - explosive results actually. But that is why I love to do this. New foods provide new results and that is the adventure most of us who cook and bake look for.
