Thats right POSION….

Today I had the pleasure of meeting The head chef from Alnwick Castle. Some of you may know alnwick Castle from such movies as the Harry Potter series (Hogwarts) and Prince of theives - Robin Hood. I was there to discuss some catering possibilites and some free lancing with him but I also got to see the castle. Its a BEAUTIFUL castle ... Read More

This summer in New York has been exceptionally hot and humid. Especially downtown in the “Canyons of Steel,” the humidity puddles on the necks of men and women in business attire as they search for lunch and something or someplace cool in the midday heat.

Under just such circumstances, I happened upon a small chocolate shop on Nassau Street one Aug... Read More

Trudging into the Dfac( dining facility) I wondered after months of eating the same things when it would stop. The same foods day in and day out, I gave up months ago on even trying to change up what I was getting. No time to really do anything but grab stuff off the salad bar add it to whatever needed changing and give it a bit of radar love. There are a few true jo... Read More

Well it was the third Saturday of the month so I find myself at the Catholic Outreach Soup Kitchen preparing a meal and directing volunteers. This would be interesting since Angela specifically requested that I use up the two months of frozen crab laegs that have accumulated from the local Red Lobster in the area. They save the snow and king legs left in the steam t... Read More

When I meet people who read or have read my newspaper columns, I know that somewhere in the conversation, someone will say, “Oh, but you have probably cooked all your life.”

Day two…
(The lost car episode)

It’s dark…

Oh yes, it’s dark it’s that way this early in the morning… cold sober and up way too early. But a refreshing four mile run helps that. Wakes you up, then watching the world come to life as the sun slowly rises over historic Savannah. Not a bad w... Read More

A Cook’s Tour - Part 1

Come with me as we tour the main kitchen that I work in and some of the facilities here. You might notice a change of season or that I actually get better as we go along. That’s because I did these vids over the course of a year and a half. This was fun to do on so many l... Read More

Day One

The simple joys of traveling on your own… The Table for One.

An introduction.

It has been a long day of flying, especially considering that I have avoided my standard delta drunken stupor I usually maintain to sleep my way to where ever it is I may be going. Unusually sober I rented a car from a rental company that... Read More
