		<title>Learning to Let That Freak Flag Fly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometime over the summer, I got a little ahead of myself and had an “audition” at a local, well-known bakery just to have the experience and see what happened.  I’d say it was an ambitious move on my part, because up until my recent decision to take culinary courses at OCC in Farmington, I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perspectives from the Front of the House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I keep asking myself….”Why me”?
Why would a group of professional chefs and dedicated food snobs ask me to be a member of their secret society? I am not a particularly accomplished chef, (although I make a mean omelet). And while I do have a fairly discerning palette, so do many others. I have eaten in [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s in a Name?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chef. The word gets thrown around a lot lately. The advent of the Food Network has done much to further this phenomenon, and has even catapulted some chefs to celebrity status. Something that wasn&#8217;t even thought possible just 20 years ago. There is much debate among us as to whether or not this is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting into quite a pickle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember the moment clearly &#8211; it was a Sunday morning, unremarkable on the surface. I sat in my study, watching past episodes of &#8220;After Hours With Daniel&#8221; (Boulard) while sipping coffee. A few minutes into a New Orleans episode I heard the words &#8220;Pickled grapes&#8221; and time stopped.
&#8220;Pickled WHAT?&#8221; I grabbed the mouse and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Herbs&#8230; Fresh vs. Dry! The Debate Rages On!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Upon reviewing my previous posts I noticed a mention that I&#8217;d elaborate on the different uses of fresh vs. dry herbs and thought there&#8217;s no better time than the present to do so! 
Let me start by saying just because they&#8217;re dried doesn&#8217;t mean they last forever. That jar of tarragon sitting in the back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Damn the Torpedoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The subject heading on the email was cryptic and hinted of espionage. 
I think it said something like “We must talk of a certain matter which is of interest to you” and it was from my former co-worker and longtime foodie friend, Ian.  I expected instructions to follow involving a discreet location and knocking out the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Udon in Bonito Broth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this post I simply want to share a recipe I came up with at work using random things I had on hand to feed myself and a couple co-workers one slow Sunday evening. My French cooking back ground came through in some of the procedure of this Udon noodle soup, but the result still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beer Review: Morimoto and Bourbon County</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to take a departure from my usual M.O. with this post. I will be reviewing 2 beers I recently picked up that were so damn good I just had to write about them. The first one is from the Rogue brewery (great name, huh?) in Newport, Oregon. First off, let me tell you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Franc VS. Franc</title>
