influx
Just as soon as I can get some key photos and videos from Allison's hard drive, there will be a fuller post about Knoydart and Caz' fantastic wedding. Until then, here is a dose of awesome that is coming my way, and which I share with you now:
- I have been selected as one of two chefs for this month's Open ChefAMe. That means that the day after I ( Read more... ) -
