Human being; that is what I plan to do during spring break. Human, defined by Webster as "consisting of or produced by people," and being as, "the state or fact of existing or living," or "fulfillment of possibilities." I do not want to spend it human doing, human becoming, or human acquiring. And so I have enjoyed this day with my son in the state of being out in the woods on a lovely walk.
It is a state I think all of us need to exist in from time with all the comings and goings that are part of culinary arts and hospitality education. We need some "now time" to reflect, refresh and restore ourselves for the demanding jobs of those we educate (bring up, rear, train) or instruct (pile upon, put in order, erect) who have placed themselves under our tutelage (guardianship, care, protection). But not this day, especially it being St. Patrick's Day and all! Time to being in front of an ice cold beer and a heaping plate of corned beef, cabbage, carrrots, and potatoes!
Please take time to be the same.
