Tasty Trends & Who Moved My Marshmallow..?

I am terribly depressed.
Why?...

Because I just caught wind that Marshmallows are predicted to be the newest trend in 2012.

Now, normally, this bit of news
would not cause me to crawl into the fetal position
and weep bitter tears into my soggy bed of pillowy mallows.

But when have I ever followed the boundaries
of normal?

The most important part of staying alive and successful
within the food industry, is staying up with the trends.
You know you have it MADE in the shade
if you are one or two steps
AHEAD of the trends :)

I had plans for marshmallows.



Big big BIG plans.
And if I had a business license... or even had the means to get one...
I would be made in the shade right now.
I'd be so made, I'd be sipping pina coladas with lil umbrellas
and tipping my over-sized floppy sun hat at all you sun people.

But...

I do not have a license or a means.

So I am nowhere near
MADE.


So even though I have great ideas & big plans
I'm getting burned this year...
& not in a toasty, ooey, gooey S'more kinda style...

But there will be new trends
And old trends will come back around...

The Culinary Industry is always moving
& it's insanely important to move with it.

I am disappointed that I won't be able to
to have fun with this marshmallow trend
but something else fun will come along & I'll have more opportunities in the future.

Someone moved my cheese,
But I'll be damned if I just sit here sulking over lost cheese.
