Seasons Change, I rearrange

2011 had started off with a bang. If you hadn't noticed previously, tragedy after tragedy was making me a little down in the dumps, but I was trying to maintain and know that soon enough something good would come out of all the bad... Little did I know, it was coming sooner than I expected. A serious bout of writer's block has bashed me in the brain, so please forgive my inability to entice you with my verbage.

After a birthday wish to a little birdie I like to call Joy, I was dropped hint that was hard to believe. She mentioned a position as a Sales Representative had opened at a company I have always been in awe over, and encouraged me to apply. I honestly thought I had no chance, being as I had no "real" sales experience previously, and there were thousands of people that would probably apply... but I figured it was a great opportunity I could not pass up. I loved the job I had, but I knew it wasn't going to take me anywhere anytime soon, so I took a leap. The leap ended up to be a skip and a hop in the right direction for me. Is the vagueness getting to you yet? Alright, I was offered a position as a Sales Representative at an amazing company called Foods In Season. Don't know who they are? Check out the link. 

Foods In Season is a company that thrives around the freshest wild, foraged, and sustainably harvested foods. Specializing in mushrooms, fresh local fish and the most amazing cuts of pork, beef, bison and and and....!! They offer so many sustainable, delicious products it's hard for me to even wrap my head around, and I work there! I work at a company where I get to talk about food all day. I get to drool over the Truffles, wild greens, and the most incredible maple syrup I have ever tasted in my entire life. How much better does it really get? I am so excited to work somewhere that cares so much about the environment where things come from, and that supports our local economy. SO EXCITED. I was trying to be modest, but I really cannot contain the glow inside of me. I have found a job that will challenge me, and force me to learn about foods that I haven't even heard of. Black Truffle Oil anyone? Foie Gras? ... You want it, I got it. 

Today the other sales girls and I split a fresh Walleye fish. A coworker had mentioned her love for fish tacos, and I couldn't resist copying her idea.  Since I have only ever really had Tilapia fish tacos, I was in for a real treat. I got home and went straight to work making the easiest and most delicious white fish ever. Just a little onion, lemon, and "Black Fish Magic" seasoning (sister in-law turned me on it, fish tacos haven't been the same without it) and it was gold. This fish was awesomely flaky, moist, and meaty... Once again my writer's block has been pretty ridiculous lately, but I am telling you, this fish was the shit (con permiso). Don't believe me? Call me and try it yourself!
