Not sure why, but the last few weeks, I’ve been on a bit of a creativity kick. More specifically with food. Not entirely sure why. I’ve watched more Food Network in the last 2 weeks than I have since I split up with my ex, who used to watch it religiously.

One of the guys from work suggested that I could probably pull of a great concept site. Something like YouTube (wishful thinking). I’ve been pondering the comment. Can I really do it? Can I pull something off like that? Maybe not to that scale, but a great concept.
