One thing I struggle with is finding time for myself and finding time to do the things I would like to do instead of just doing the things I have to do. I believe finding this balance is so important because if I’m a mess, how in the world can I take care of myself and my family.
Before we had kids, this wasn’t a problem. Yes, I worked full-time, but my chef/husband worked more (big surprise) so I always had time in the evening for hobbies (or to watch TV and do nothing).
If I wanted to spend time with friends or go out and do something, I could. No problem. (I might add that I could also afford it as we were both working full time.) (more…)
Like every month, I’ve collected a few of my favorite things I’ve found online that have to do with either being married to a chef, chef life or having a family with a chef. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I did!
Apparently there is a secret list of banned words that you should NEVER use when writing about food. I wonder if they apply when I am just talking about food with my chef/husband? (Just kidding.) (more…)
I would love to know how many chefs and their families get invited over to other people’s houses for dinner.
Anyone?
Anyone?
Neither do we.
I will admit that there is a chance that we don’t get invited over for dinner because no one wants to hang out with us. That could be the case. Maybe we are truly obnoxious and no one wants to be around us and everyone is just too nice to tell us they can’t stand us.
I will also admit that with my chef/husband’s crazy and ever changing hours, it could be difficult to find a time to have us over. However, if someone really, really, REALLY wanted to, we could make it work. Sure we might have to reschedule a few times, and they would have to listen to me apologize a million times about rescheduling, but eventually it would happen.
However, I think it’s far more likely that people are TOTALLY FREAKED OUT AND SCARED to cook for a chef. (At least that’s what I’m told by others.)
Is that really true? Is my chef/husband really that scary and intimidating? (more…)
I guess it depends on who you ask and who is asking.
This seems to be a question that is “googled” a lot, probably because with the hours a chef works, it’s tough to get to know each other and to find time to spend together when your are working opposite schedules.
Let’s look at two chef wives “tweeting” about it the other day . . .
