hey lip good going mate. looks like you know what you want out of life & it seems to be working out for you.
as a 15 year old my brother took me to work part time washing pots in a kitchen. afetr a while I started asking the head chef a lot of questions about food. He always gave us the ansewrs. one day he took me to one side and said if you are that inyerested in food I will teach you but do not take the piss if you want to learn. all my experience came from being in work.
today i'm a head chef in a hotel in the uk.
thanks to that man.
it's hard work but satisfying.
plus justifies having a bloody good joint after a hard shift.
