Lately, I have had some people come up to me and say things like,"Don't ever stop cooking." I enjoy hearing those things but at the same time I find it kind of silly. When someone says that to you after only eating your food one time... well, it's kinda strange. I will just be honest and say that I don't really feel I am cooking anything special. What I do with food just comes natural to me; food is such a part of my life that it is really hard to explain the connection I have with it. So to the people that are really impressed with my food, I say thank you and don't worry, I don't plan on getting out of the food world any time soon. It all just depends on what the food world throws at me next.
The health department likes to make rules that show us that the people making the rules haven't worked in a kitchen and have no idea how ingredients need to be treated. Corporate farms keep getting bigger and caring less about quality and more about the money. Television like the Food Network tend to glamorize chefs and make it hard to face the public in out coats for fear of some wannabe foodie will want to "talk shop" with you because they cooked a thirty-minute meal with Rachel Ray. All of these things are reasons that I have left the business in the past. I tend to just get fed up with things and want a more simple life. I just want to cook really fresh, good tasting, simple food. That is it.
Some one else can have the glamor - just give me the flavor.

AM I FLYING TIME OR IS IT FLYING?
Wow WEE its been a close to a week since I last Blogged. I am starting to figure out that blogging is much like a religion. If let yourself fall behind on studies or meditation it gets harder and harder to get back into in. I really enjoy blogging and was getting to a point were I was really looking forward to getting off work just to put down my thoughts. After the last market I was so sleepy I decided to skip my blog that night after I started to fall asleep trying to find something to watch on net flix. When I woke up and noticed that I had not even signed in I thought that maybe it was time to sleep. I actually did have a blog all ready to go the next night but my computer froze up and I lost it. I didn't like that one anyhow so I guess the universe knows whats best. The next night I helped some friends move and made dinner. After a long day of deadheading flowers and being bent over for 8 hours the last thing you want to do is move a bunch of heavy things. And the last thing you feel like doing after work and moving is... well you don't feel like doing anything at all. So here I am wondering where all the time went. Seems like I should have enough time to sit down type for a few minutes at least every day. So if you follow this blog and you don't get anything new to read I would love it if you called me out. I always have something to say... just not sure you are always going to want to hear it ;P

SAME OLE SAME OLE
The market tonight was fun once again. We did just about the same amount of sales but it did not feel as busy. I hope its just getting easy and was not just a slow market. We did rockfish tacos today and sold out in almost an hour. I don't know what it is about fish tacos but people just seem to love them. It was really funny because even when we were out I has some people come up an ask if we still had tacos left. When I told them no they said that they were not going to get them anyway... they just wanted to know if we still had them. I think they were on a diet or something and maybe they were not feeling deprived enough. Whats up with that? So even though it wasn't really the same ole thing product wise, it was on the numbers side. It does not bother me. In fact it makes me happy because I know that we are really going to kill it next month when all the kids have been out of school a bit longer. Now is the time to start thinking about products that can be taken back to a hotel room. Any suggestions?
