Reality Food TV ~ Talent or Trash

Couldn’t decide whether to write about the abysmal lack of talent on reality television, or about living in a Paris garret while attending culinary school! Woohoo some tales to tell there.

Couldn’t bring myself to write this the other day as it is still a mental mind fuck, if I think to long about what might have been. I live in Fairfield County, CT. About a 50 min drive to mid town Manhattan. The train is about 1 hour, unless you take the express to Grand [...]

Okay start thinking of the song “we have no bananas today”. Sort of the same thing with this summers tomato crop. Total bust ~ a wash out ~ pipe dream! I have plants on my deck looking all leafy and green, may as well hang a “for sale” sign on them. Or better yet, deer [...]

Quick update. Well folks it looks like it is not going to happen for us East Coasters! Not this season anyway. I am still looking at zip in my garden and on my deck. Nada! Tall stalks yes, fruit nope. Thankfully I have a very well stocked freezer of fresh corn, blueberries, peaches and now [...]
From the CookBook Shelf

Well considering my longevity in the food industry, it would only come to pass that someone would eventually ask me what my favourite cookbooks are. Well bugeer. I have a library of over 4,000. Last time I counted. Give or take a few. So this could well spiral in to numerous posts. Be patient, and [...]
