I went running at Cleveland Circle tonight; a water reservoir where geese love to hang out. A small flock of geese created a triangular shape. What's the first thing I think about?

Okay STOP Lorena. You're writing a blog, not brainstorming. My mind can run away with food ideas all day. Food chose me, after all, and I have to answer the call.
I love when my brain connects inconspicuous items because it leads to personal brilliance. I happen to think I became wiser today after realizing a new reason of why I love the culinary arts. It's math! Confused? Don’t be. Just think about the geometry behind plating. Circle, triangles, squares... the list goes on. What about measurements and units? Textures and temperatures? You see what I mean now? But lucky enough, I LOVE MATH and this just adds to the plethora of reasons of why I am a foodie.
