Special Moments

            Watching the video, it is clear that I drink way too much! You can observe me slurring my language, propping myself up against the pink mixer to hold myself up, and wearing a foil hat. Which by the way takes mad skill! But there is so much more to this video than what is being presented.
            Rachel is my roommate and best friend. Without her editing skills, these videos would not be possible. The episodes are not for fun entertainment. This is how we are around each other when we cook for the holidays. Every year Rachel has Thanksgiving dinner with my family and me. She helps prepare the food at my dinners, and interacts with everyone as if she’s family. It is because she is family!
            When I see the bloopers clip I don’t just see two kids screwing around. I see a lot of precious moments. I see laughter because we enjoy our stupidity and company. That whenever I get to tipsy, I know I have Rachel to pick up the pieces, and most importantly finish cooking the food (HAHA). Drinking in the kitchen has become our personal tradition that we made up just for us. Probably not the healthiest tradition thought up of, but I am glad that we did.
            I know for a fact I would have been a lot worse if she wasn’t there reminding me what I was doing. Acting as professional as a food critic can under the influence, I love it when she gets me in my comfort zone. Every year I look forward to our drunk kitchen, and can expect many more in the future.

  1. I am on the verge of tears watching these bloopers. I would LOVE to be in that kitchen with you two! Cooking with family and friends is always about the wine! Isnt it? I swear, when I need a little lift in my spirits im going to have to go back and watch this.
