Question of the Day #274

Last night, I prepared a vat of Suzie Foods meatballs and offered them as the special at Sonny McLeans. Who would have thought Italian food at an Irish pub would have been such a hit?
We sold out. And as it turns out, I even have fans! The biggest little fans ever.

Sure, I love to cook. I've always loved to cook. But I've never had any training or illusions of culinary divinity. I'm a writer. That's who I am. But lately, I've been doing a lot more cooking than writing. I'm not unhappy about that, just surprised.

Have you ever surprised yourself by working at something you never thought you would?

xoxo,
Suzanne

  2. Like the Professional Bridesmaid, I never thought I'd enjoy blogging either. I thought it was an odd thing for people to do. But I just kind of fell into it.

    I'm not a good cook at all. My boyfriend is, though, and I've found that's a GOOD thing. It's nice to have someone cook for you!

  6. Sounds like a fun and yummy night!

    Never could have imagined being an instructional designer. This profession was in its infancy when I was graduating high school and college.

  7. I always said you made great meatballs!!! Kudos.
    I was a teacher and I loved it, but my real love was flowers. Who knew? you never know where life lead will lead you.

  9. Congratulations, Suzanne! That's so cool that your meatballs sold out!!! Guess I never expected to be the mom of a special needs kid, but it's been a wonderfully unique experience.

  10. Writing. I never thought I'd be interested in writing children's stories, up until a few years ago. Good luck with your cooking. Maybe you could write a cookbook!
