Make it your own!

Blog Blog Blog...

Blogging what exactly is it? It really is anything you want it to be. Poor out your heart and soul into it or just make up random stupid stuff to say. Friends, family, your daily life. But, I'm guessing since this is a blog related to food, that'd be the best thing to write about in here.

There is just so much to say about food, and even though you may learn mostly all French food techiques, there are many more out there. Currently being in Cuissine Across Culture, you do learn things that you wouldn't even think to know about. Chef Tyler Brassil is a funny, but a helpful chef. You should take what you gain in that class (and all other classes) and run with it. Don't just do as they tell you to make, make it your own!!

Enough Said.

First and Last

so many days gone with just the sound of wind
surrounded by explicate that just say spend.
but so many more damn things on my mind
than to just sit down, kick back and really unwind.
i say what i can but i am no blogger
so next time you see me dont even bother.

Greatest Pleasure!

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

Stuffed Duck Leg with Pea Puree

This is another dish created by me that I hope has impact and beauty. I really think this one is the direction I want to be going in.

Here is a dish I am very proud of... It is a pan seared Duck Breast with a beautiful Apricot ginger Sauce... Needless to say, it only lasted about 2 minutes after plating.

pray for me

Hello an Good Morning!

Another lovely night of cooking an hustling for people i will never meet or see. Its hard at times try en to keep a smile on your face when you have to deal with having to balance time for class, work an home work day in an day out, but you may find a way to deal with it, me I just take it day by day an pray that the lord will give me strength to do it each day I am thankful for the gifts that the lord has given me but at times get a little discourage at how much of my life an time is use for work an school thank god it does not last for ever .

The Challenge

My life as of now is very busy. Trying to get an externship at Per Se, doing competitions for the ACF student culinary team, and training to become a banquet chef at work. Among a recipe contest that I am working on to win $5000. AHHHHHHHHH.. when do I get a break. But cooking is what I love to do. So I force myself to get up each morning, I force myself to stay at work and get the hours. Getting up early and getting home late is starting to catch up to me. But im still pushing hard as I can. Because all of this hard work is going to lead to something great in the end.

With every struggle comes strength.

Sitting here thinking

I'm sitting here thinking!

When a man wants to be a father to his child ,an offer the child the fun an opportunity that he did not have, so he can be considered a "good father". The mother decides to be mean an takes the child away from him just cause she feels she can.


Is that fair?

I'm still sitting here thinking!

wtf!

Being new to this blog ish! is a lil hard at first
but like sex with practice you get better at it.

A-Void

A-void, is what you do
when you turn your heart to dust
because you do not want to feel anymore
what do you fear more?
the regrets to haunt you
or to haunt another you reject?
Just pretend, that's your game
pretend to be-friend, pretend to be-lie
just pretend, to be, a single word, a letter Be
try your hardest, it will not help
you know true, your heart is in pain
your sorrow shows, but you be-lie
you a-void accept what hides
not what you pretend to be-hide
but what you deny
emotions surrounding your mind
clouding what you thought was right
now is not clear anymore
your worst fears are coming alive
you thought you were
but now you are not
your thoughts betray you
your heart betrays you
your soul betrays you
what you thought was right is now wrong
what you thought would be yours now is not
what you felt was going to be is going away
it is driving you insane
what is it that you really feel?
it happen, didn't it?
you fell for the one you tought the least

Your Eyes

There is something in your eyes
That makes me realize
That you are as afraid as I am
Making believe, that’s your game
You’re for the crowd, I’m for myself
I dream a little dream
That those eyes look right at me
And that smile it’s just for me
I know what you feel
Just can’t tell others
They may fear
That after accepting the reality
You may never go back
To the place where people say
You belong

Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Patience

I believe that only with life experiences one develops this skill. Patience is a skill, not something one is born with or taught by your parents. Imagine trying to live your life without it. It would be completely insane! I learned it the hard way, and I do recommend people to study their lifestyle and choices, in order to develop this necessary skill to have a more pleasant stay on this planet.

My Philosophy on cooking

My Philosophy on cooking is - If it's not fresh, then you must have stale thinking. Instead of recreating a already known dish, create something thats new and fresh. You dont get known for what you can copy, but rather what you can create.

Slideshow is working!

OK, I've got our slideshow working.  I uploaded a few pictures from local restaurants and some other miscellaneous pics just to get us started.  Just send me whatever images you want to include in the slideshow, and I'll upload them.  Include whatever information you want to attach as a caption, credits, etc.  Have fun with it!

I've created the Flickr account for the photographs that will become our slideshow here on the main page.  Send me whatever photographs you want, and I will upload them to the slideshow as soon as possible.  I'm still tweaking the process, but I'll get it working soon. 
We need photographs of anything:

• campus and community events
• anything at all that might be fun, interesting, or useful.
