First off I by NO means consider myself a "STUD" and I wanted to lay that right out!! Wah ha happen wuz!! I was trying to figure out a name to call my blog and it was supposed to say "The day in the life of a 30 year old CULINARY STUDENT" but how the universe works in my world which you will no doubt see by my adventures day to day if you so decide to stick around and read my shit!? Anyhow, I digress, I was gonna put student but I "accidently" pressed enter and just decided to keep the title as at the moment my ego needed to be stroked so I did it myself.
I am a culinary student on a mission to bring back the "Gentleman" I feel that part of our masculinity has been lost with Beer, Football and dare I say "Bitches?" a term I cannot stand!! When did that happen anyway? Bitch was a word that my mother used when she got real upset. That woman NEVER cussed so to her that was her way to let out that internal, visceral feeling of anger she had at the moment and like a tea kettle on the stove she would boil to the point where the word "BITCH" flung out of her mouth like a beebee gun on christmas morning.
What I'm trying to get at is my mission for becoming a "Culinarian" as it were is to be able to bring back the art of CHIVALRY. What ever happened to that? I was raised to disappear when adults were confabulating, to open the doors for a lady, to place my napkin gently on the lap and last but not least to groom? I know it seems foreign in an age when flashing your posterior regions decorated by the latest fashion in mens unmentionables or in this case bellow.
I know you're thinking Culinary and Chivalry? How do they go hand in hand? Well I have a theory! If being a gentleman is having decorum what better way to start but at the dinner table. The snake pit of manners. Manners were practically invented for the dinner table setting. Having social graces and showing them off is an art form.
I believe that if I learn to cook I can teach men or in this case "gentlemen" to take the time and learn how to create atmosphere? To learn how to set a table? and dare I say it, cook a meal that'll make you want to slap your grandmother?
Well that is my missionto create the perfect gentleman, who's with me!!
