Okay I've actually written around a page worth of words about how bad my day went but I guess God is still not satisfied. Somehow all that I've written was erased by a browser malfunction and there wasn't any auto save. Fuck my life. Sometimes life just gives you lemons. Super sour lemons at that. But I guess I have to get through it even if I have to put a sour face for it.
Oh well. FYI it was totally not worth it. The things I did in relation to what happened at the end of the day.

Food Writing?
Hello all, something other than a rant today. As you all know, I'm taking a course in Culinary Management and in the course, I've stumbled upon the topic of food writing. Kinda interesting to know that there are many things you could do by simply writing about food. I love to write, when it's in the form of a story or just a rant. Not when it is a report or some sort of academic article. So writing professionally seems a bit hard for me. But last week, in a class of mine, a lecturer of mine asked everyone in the class to write something related to food, preferably a food experience that we've had.
I'm a lazy student, doing work in class just doesn't fit my bill. But when you're in a class of 6, you don't have a choice. So write I did. The fact that I was writing was already amazing, what I managed to write in 15 minutes though, was a miracle. Kinda made me interested in writing a bit more than before.
I'm just gonna post what I wrote here. The title is shady because I just can't think of anything better. So here it is, Best Kebab Ever!
A few minutes before sundown, right at the end of Ramadhan. I was eagerly waiting at the table full of food. One dish in particular was making me salivate beyond control. The chicken kebab.
It's a simple dish but with the steam coming from it, the tatziki sauce dripping on the plate, and the bits of chicken visible from the side. It feels like it was teasing me.
Almost fainting with hunger, I heard the announcement on the radio which signals the end of the fasting day. Without even thinking, I grabbed the kebab and shoved it into my mouth,
The first thing I felt was pain. It wasn't smart of me to eat a piping hot kebab right way so I waited again, now feeling like the kebab was laughing at me. After rigorous blowing and patient waiting. I took another bite.
The warm chicken paired with the garlic tatziki along with the crunchy lettuce was just like heaven at that moment. Without realizing, I finished the kebab and regretted not buying another. To this day, I can't think of another kebab that is better.
A very small piece but considering that I had only 15 minutes, I think I did pretty well. And it was my first try at it too! What do you think? Leave your comments below and if I get good responses, I might just pursue this as a career choice. Thinking too far ahead but I gotta start somewhere. Till then, that's all for now. Bye!
