A Blog about everything weird that happens while you eat
At various time over many years I’ve had the pleasure and annoyance of torturing culinary school students. Sure, some are atually talented, but those usually figured out culinary school was a rip off early on but stuck it out anyway.

Howdy Folks! Things will be changing a bit around here, because I hightailed it out of PDX for the new challenge that is Shanghai, China. I’ll be here for a while with girlie, and I’ll be blogging as best I can, you can buhleeee’ dat.
I’ve already seen some amazing feats of architecture, had a cabbie [...]
Bill Simmons is a douchey yet extraordinarily popular writer for ESPN.com’s Page 2, and has a short column in ESPN the Magazine.

There are magical pixie beans inside your Natto! This must be the vegetarian version of suicide food. I’m going to ask the Biwa kids about this [...]
I have this shiny new site here, and the Blogtown @ the Mercury has decided I’m on their blogroll, so excuse me a moment if I attempt to figure out who keeps coming to this site.
I know a bit about people (from statcounter), for instance:
Most of my hits come from Oregon and SW Washington, but [...]
