Hi! It’s me, Farideh. (that picture^^^ is from a recent trip to the Bahamas a few weeks ago…not in anyway indicative of where I physically am right now.)
I was on my run this morning (in Brooklyn) and all the thoughts and ideas and things started popping up in my brain and I was like,
Oh I should run faster and get home so I can write all this down!
But then my body was like,
Farideh, you know this is how fast I move, you aren’t getting home any faster than this speed.
So I came home and stretched and made my typical scrambled egg with shallot sauce and avocado and lettuce on a flour tortilla and drank some water and took my vitamins and now here I am writing. Or typing, as it were.
Anyway, Ian is coming over to help me shoot my first video thing for my this and as of this morning I still had no idea what I was going to call it or what it was going to be and how it was going to work. But this is why I run. It helps clear my head so that I can think.
Can you believe I wrote all those words above and still have yet to share what it was that I was so excited about?
So this is it. A bit of a newsletter with my weekly happenings. What I am doing, eating, thinking, watching. Whatever. Some recipes that I’m into or that I am developing. And videos! Cooking…all sorts. New recipes, friend recipes, and for fun recipes that are not really recipes.
I used to journal all the time as a kid, starting when I was 6 and got my first diary. I stopped probably around 15 years ago or so and I always think that I should start up again, and haven’t. No time like the present, however, to kick up an old pastime.
As for the videos, I’ll try to film at least one a month. Maybe more? It depends on how easy it is for me to do because I plan on shooting and editing all of these on my own. In an ideal world, I could bang out two, but I really have actually never edited a video before so I need to figure that out.
As I mentioned, Ian is coming by for my first shoot to help with audio. I don’t want to screw this up on the first go…but I probably will. And I think that’s ok. We’re learning together. Who knows what comes of this, but I hope that you stick around. We’re going to have a good fucking time.
This blog pairs great with snacking cheese! 🧀
Congratulations! Can’t wait to see your next adventure unfold. Sicily!!
