Jason and I were just doing some late night channel surfing and we caught a quick peek at Iron Chef. It's Bobby Flay vs. Amanda Freitag, but Arianne from TC Season 5 is totally one Amanda's sous. As per Top Chef, I knew Arianne to have her own restaurant. I'm curious as to when these different shows were filmed and all. Anybody catch more of ( Read more... )

So does anybody else think this push for slider-type hamburgers is just a good way to sell less for more with a good marketing gimmick? We just did dinner with friends a few days ago and half of one menu page was for these, too.

The countdown has begun to several weeks of absolute insanity. 55 days from now is my last day at Fair Lakes. I should probably let my bosses know that is, in fact, the official date. From there, I have a few days to finish loading a bunch of crap into the car, then I'm due in Rhode Island on April 8th to start work at The Village Hearth on the ( Read more... )

My dulcimer lessons continue to go quite well. Three lessons in now and my instructor effectively said I've nearly 'outgrown' the small rental model. Quick bit of info -- the dulcimer has two 'bridges' with a series of 'markers' where the strings cross. The size/range is gauged by the number of markers on each bridge.

FC has been a lot of fun. Generally laid back and mellow, but that's been totally cool for the both of us (and the rest of the posse). Tonight is our last night, tomorrow we're off to San Fran. Hurrah for San Fran and a room with just the two of us in a king size bed. Love you, Seth & Scott, but king size bed for the win.
