Welcome
Everyone!
It feels great to be writing again. Why? I love food! Morning, day, evening, night, and 2am after a film. Food is love. Love is food.
Food is the way to my heart. Rick, my S.O., can attest to this. Tonia’s sad? Here’s a
latte. Tonia’s hangry? Let’s grab some sushi. Any man or woman with a
significant other who is easily hangried will agree that food is THE answer; THE
solution.
For those of you who don’t know me and are reading my blog for the first time, I’m Tonia! Friends call me Ton-Ton, T-Rex, and Frodo(thanks to our Ad Layout course). I’m currently in my fourth and final semester of the Advertising and Marketing Communications program at Sheridan College and absolutely love it. Going back to college after my HBA at UofT was the best decision I made. True, it took me two years to figure things out, but nonetheless, I did and chose to go back to school. Funny, I had my post, post-secondary epiphany while I was cooking. Cooking (and food) have always been therapeutic for me. It’s the one thing in life I can do by feeling and it always works out. There’s no right or wrong. You can either add more or less ingredients, or start over. And that’s okay.
In addition, I owe this love of food to my grandparents. They take such great joy in watching us indulge in the meals they create and share. It’s a defining characteristic of being Italian, at least in my family anyways. I also owe a lot to my dad. He loved food. Food to him had this innate value, beyond that of nourishment. Food was an experience, one that was shared with those he loved and cared for. I can’t thank him enough for that philosophy, it’s one I strongly believe in and live by every day.
Which brings me back to the theme of my blog. We were asked by our fabulous Interactive Marketing instructor (hey Tina!) to create a blog about something we’re passionate about. Food was the first and only thing that came to mind. Since I had already created my food blog sometime ago, I figured it was only right to stay true to that calling and continue to express my undying love for food to the digital world. So, without further ado, here is my blog...again.
Buon Appetito!
