The last time that I blogged here was way back in December 2010. This has been for several reasons, most notably my lack of time, but also self consciousness in my writing style. Necessity has driven me to begin blogging here again. I recently was hired as the Sustainable Food Coordinator for a program called CCSP, located in Santa Elena Belize. At this point in my life, this is exactly what I want to be doing. All through college I would look out onto the busy Chicago Avenue streets of Minneapolis, MN and yearn for the peaceful farm that I spent so much time on during my formative years. Now, although I am not on that peaceful farm, I am gaining knowledge that will be beneficial to a lifestyle that more readily resembles that childhood memory. I am an amateur gardener looking to become more proficient at it while in a position that requires me to do just that. I wake up every morning and am still surprised that I am in this position, that it is my job to garden, hang out with college students and shop at a farmers market. While, although I have not blogger here in a quite a while, from here on out that will be the subject of my blog: my discovery of how to successfully garden in Belize, about sourcing food in a developing country and its preparation in the kitchen, all of which has a steep learning curve.
