Making a perfect French omelette — The Pastiche

June 08,2024

Several months ago, Jon got in a wormhole of sorts watching videos of the late Julia Child’s The French Chef. If you’ve never seen it, take a minute sometime and watch her. She is such an inspirational figure to me—a phenomenal chef with absolutely no fuss about her. And her show isn’t fi.

Although much of life is mundane, there are always people/places/things that inspire us, feed our souls, set our hearts on fire. But there’s also beauty in the mundane; it just might take a little bit of a closer look, or a slower walk-by, to really revel in it. In a fast paced world of shortcuts and forward thinking, this is the place for slowing down to annotate—the pretty, the delicious, the insatiable, the profound, in order to live (and appreciate) a slightly more vibrant life.

I like things that make me happy—good food, good people, and new places. I also like to create things, analyze things, and work on things. I think there’s a way to put all of what inspires me on a day-to-day (some days more than others) basis onto one canvas—one pastiche.

I’m Sarah, and I’m a mid-to-late-twenty-something, living in Rochester, New York.
