Hawker Rye Essential Wash Long Sleeve Shirt From StitchFix Men.
I thought about ending this website the other day. Not disappearing off the face of the internet, but to create something new, and different. I’m expanding so much on all these new and great ideas, but I’m afraid they will be rejected on here. Especially with it’s name being connotative to food entirely. Stuck in that classic “oh my, what am I to do?” mindset. Sound familiar?
With all of that, I am doing this post; not in a purpose to teach you a recipe this time, but to give you an insight on where I sit right now with projects, and where we will be going on this story we call life.

Some exciting news that I will be talking about again in the future, is the wondrous company called Stitch Fix. It was originally only a women’s clothing app where they send you a box of clothes based on your specific taste. You fill out an online profile based on color preferences, types of clothing, and your preferred fitting etc.. Then for a $20 styling fee; a real life clothing stylist sends a random assortment of items to your door. All you have to do is choose what’s right for you. Yep, you only pay for what you keep (good luck not keeping everything). It’s pretty amazing, and I was jealous for quite a while. That is, until they recently launched Stitch Fix Men.

You may be thinking “Josh, what the hell are you on about mate?”. Well, this post’s purpose is not only to talk about my new clothing crush for Stitch Fix Men, but also make a point that I am going to be doing some new categories of content. In addition to my food posts; the new categories will fall under “lifestyle”. So that’ll include men’s clothing, kitchenware, and stuff that I all around enjoy.

I’m really happy that this announcement ended up being done in conjunction with my Stitch Fix partnership post. I can’t wait to see what my next fix is; that way I can show you what I’ve gotten! That’s it for today y’all! Be sure to show your boyfriends, husbands, or brothers that it’s not too late to get out of the cargo shorts and graphic teeshirt rut. They will thank you for it later, I promise.
This post is sponsored by Stitch Fix but all opinions are my own.
This is awesome.. I love this. Stich Fix looks good on you. Can’t wait for you to come out with another Cookbook.
Hope all goes well. I think it’s cool you’re broadening your horizons.
Congrats…You deserve the best that life has to offer. Thank you for all that you do!
Amazing look, keep going, Josh! (Don’t forget food, but I trust you on this matter as well ;))
Change can be good! Don’t be afraid to venture off on this site and just pivot. Do what makes YOU happy.
Starting something new is always a great way! However, I would miss the great recipes and contributions! Greetings from Berlin
Congratulations on opening up to some different directions. The title, “Slim Palate” still fits lifestyle choices as well as cooking ideas. It’s all about having good taste, isn’t it? Wishing you brilliant success…I can’t wait to discover where this journey is going to take you.
Hey Josh – I know life gets confusing sometimes but please try to keep your website even if it evolves! I just told someone else about you the other day (older friends who are going paleo after the husband had a heart attack), and it’s always so fun to talk about your success as a teen, your talent and motivation, and your cookbook! You are a real inspiration and I often tell young folks about you when they show any interest in improving their diet.
I don’t get over here much myself because my own life has gotten overwhelming, but if/when I find more time for cooking, I definitely will. Love ya!
Thank you diane, I really appreciate that. Words of encouragement like this have definitely helped remind me that what I’m doing is still helping people. That has always, always been my goal. As long as I am helping people then I’m happy. I actually have finally carved out a path for myself and know the direction I need to go now to make it relevant in my evolving life.
Thank you for sharing my story with others and keeping people inspired. You’re wonderful. Always try to find time for cooking. It’s so easy to go out when things are stressful and you’re busy; sometimes you have to. But sometimes it’s nice to slow down and just focus on a simple feeling, like the feeling of a knife cutting through something and making that “chop” noise on the board as it follows through. Find where your little pleasures lie in the kitchen. There are certain things I like to cook just when I’m busy and feeling overwhelmed. I put on some light music, and move as fast or as slow as I want to, and I savor the transformation of turning something as simple as a vegetable into a beautiful and delicious thing. A lot of times that can feel very therapeutic in it self, it’s all about perspective. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you do find time to come back for some kitchen, or maybe even life inspiration. Keep fighting the good fight.
