im jelly lol.
i actually work with an alumni, which is pretty cool.
i know they are VERY good with setting people up with "leads" after college.

CIA is like the harvard of culinary(in the u.s).
if i had real money i'd go to the cordon bleu in france(u.s cordon bleu is not what it appears to be)

You all just broke the rules! lol
I am going to brake the rules as well. I have pictures but no time for explanations.

Wood fired Pizza (I built the oven with a friend)




Wild Mushrooms! (do not eat wild mushrooms unless you know your shit!)
Always stay away from white mushrooms in the wild! These are Black trumpets and a few chanterelles.


Roasted ducks!


Down time at work. Skull and cross bones (toast and bacon with egg eyes and BBQ sauce writing)




Random Salad


Lamb chops and polenta


Duck comfy and risotto


Beer battered fish and chips


More pizza


Cheese plate


My Big Mack imitation


Bourbon Brown Sugar Bacon

Culinary school years ago. I did a German meal for the cafeteria. Veg plate was potato pancakes, meat plate was potato dumplings and hand made sausage. Everything from scratch. Dumplings were a bitch!




Not me.

Definately not me! lol



Best nachos I ever made my self!

Here's a shot of me doing some sautéd Brandy apples. My sister is fucking priceless. On the menu that night. simmered brats in Newcastle served on a bed of sauerkraut with a side of brandy apples and home made hard roll. Wish I had a picture of the finished product. :( My sister and her fiancé were my guinea pigs for a surprise bday party I had to do(35-40 people).

Fire! Love the extinguisher! lol

I suck in the kitchen, but the woman is a chef and is determined to make me so fat no other woman would ever want me. Like, homemade peanut butter cup kinda fat.

Case in point: Black-and-gold Guinness cupcakes with pralines for my Saints superbowl party last year.

I can make these. Make a devils' food cake mix, follow the box. Crumble the cake into a bowl. Mix in 1/2 tub of cream cheese icing. This should make it adhere into a ball nicely. Fridgerate for a few hours. Melt some chocolate (not too sweet, dark chocolate or a mix). Roll the balls in the chocolate. Fridgerate quickly. When you melt the chocolate, don't go too far or it'll get nasty. Heat it on medium-low heat, then when it's almost done shut the heat off and let the last few chunks melt themselves. Cool it down a bit after it's melted.

Avacado salsa: avacados, toms, red onion,cilantro, cucumber, garlic, S&P, cholula(or other salsa) lemon juice. chop up all that shit, wisk together minced garlic, lemon juice, ev olive oil, cholula and pour over everything and mix. serve on fish tacos, or just eat with chips. its even better the next day.
