I decided it was time to take a break from the excellent Repairman Jack series and to read something else. I decided to read The Perfectionist by Rudolph Chelminski about the life and death of French chef Bernard Loiseau. This is a real insider’s look at the world of haute […]
Another Monday, another evening of GARDE MANGER at Cincinnati State. We’re in week 8 out of 10 of the class. We worked hard this evening to prepare our proteins for our final, which occurs in 10 days time. Tonight, I worked on Roasted Asian Duck Galantine and a Duck and […]
Wendy & I ate at Bahama Breeze this evening. We started our meal with some of their sweet, fresh Cuban Bread. Wendy had paella and I had a pizza with portobellos and goat cheese. Everything was very good! After the meal, we stopped by Wendy’s hospital to check on a […]
Another evening of GARDE MANGER class at Cincinnati State as we approach the home-stretch. Tonight, I finished my proteins for our final on June 14th. I finished my Roasted Asian Duck Galentine and my Duck & Smoked Foie Gras Terrine, wrapped them well, and stored them in the freezer until Monday […]
Tonight was the Graduate Recognition Program for the graduating students of my college. Working with my teammates, we had planned this program to be very nice, and it came off quite well. We planned a nice dinner at the Kingsgate Conference Center along with an awards ceremony. It was a […]

Tonight was my one quiet evening this weekend, so we stayed at home and watched television and ate Popeye’s chicken. Hibernating and hanging out with Wendy is fun, though it was an early night since I had to be at the office by 8:00am on Saturday morning. Share: Click to […]
I got up very early for a Saturday in order to be at school by 8:00am to participate in the commencement ceremonies for this year’s graduates. It was raining at my house when I left, but by the time I got to school the skies were pretty clear, though they […]
After commencement ceremonies at school, I changed into my chef whites (behind my car!) and went down to Jean-Robert at Pigall’s restaurant to work for the evening. I think I’ve been remiss in documenting all of my visits to the restaurant; I’m nearly convinced that I’ve worked there much more […]
This afternoon, Wendy & I went to see X-MEN: THE LAST STAND with Dave & Robin at our local Showcase Cinemas, where they finally become members of the Director’s Club (congrats!). After the movie, we went over to CRAZY BUFFET in Springdale for dinner. According to their menu, it is one of the […]
We worked hard at GARDE MANGER class this evening. In addition to taking the written final, we also worked (on whatever we could) to prepare for our public final on Wednesday. Several of the items from my requisition still were not available, so I’m going to have to buy them on […]
 This evening, I again had the opportunity to work side-by-side with Chef Jean-Robert de Cavel, owner and chef of Cincinnati Ohio’s Jean-Robert at Pigall’s at 7 Days for SIDS: A One Week Fundraiser for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, an event that he and his wife Annette founded after losing their […]
Boy oh boy what a night of food! Tonight was my final in the GARDE MANGER class I took this term. I made it to school at 4:15, about an hour before our class was scheduled to begin and about 3 hours before our guests were due to arrive. Wendy […]
Today, Wendy took Buster in to clean his teeth, implant a microchip, and to remove his floppy dewclaw. She said he did well through the proceedure, but that his teeth “look like the teeth of a 10 year old dog” (we think he’s about 6 years old but are not […]
I dragged myself through the workday today, and dragged myself home in the evening to wait for Wendy and Buster to get home. My original thought was that I’d watch some television, but I was feeling so tired that I took a nap on the couch until they got home. […]
On Friday, June 16, the HAPPY MOUTH SUPPER CLUB met at Embers in Kenwood. It was John’s month to select, and he did well. Wendy B, Ron, Angel, Jay, Tracy, Ted, Holly, Dave, Robin, Doug, (guests Paul, Danielle, and Kathleen), Wendy, and Drew enjoyed the ambiance and food of Embers […]

This evening, we met up with Brian & Milan to dine together, something we’ve enjoyed doing with them for a year or more. We’ll meet and have a ‘grown-up dinner’ at a restaurant alternately chosen by each couple. Tonight was their choice of La Petit Pierre, which was named one of […]
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! What a fun day today was. My buddy, Chef Doug, asked me (last night!) to participate as his apprentice for an American Culinary Federation “One Man Mystery Basket” culinary competition he attempted today. Apparently, the competition was supposed to provide apprentices, but since the competition happened to […]
A dinner full of leftovers this evening… I cooked a couple cheeseburgers, some butternut squash ‘fries’, some fresh steamed asparagus, and some of the remaining soba noodle salad from my Garde Manger class. Everything was tasty, and it sure was easy and convenient on a rainy night like tonight! Share: […]
