You know what’s really ironic about this? I just had this conversation with an old friend recently. You know how it is: “it’s been awhile”, “your family looks great”, “how’s the career”, blozzy blozzy. Anyway, we started talking about travel and food, and I said that if I can have food and design, at the same time, I’m in love.

Separately, design and food bring me so much joy. Design lets me solve problems and see the results. Food just makes me giddy and dance around the room. You put those two things together, and I’m in a state of wonder that can only be described as happily living my best life.

I mean, you can only imagine how excited I get going to restaurants and cafes. It also explains why I love designing kitchens so much. Go figure. For me, design and food together is an ultimate mood changer. I can’t even tell you how often I’ve had a crazy week and a weekend brunch just makes everything better. Ahh, good times.

What about you? When are you most happy?
