Been A While

Here's just a little bit that was shared on myspace. It's from a "major movie" director that I've been somewhat a fan of for years. It's interesting to watch a successful movie director do something like this. Maybe not interesting to you, but, it is someone famous just kinda acting normal or doing something normal to me.
Cooking. When I saw "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", the scene when Johnny Depp's Character killed the cook because the pork dish he just had was too good, I knew there was some reason why this was emphasized. Obviously the person behind the movie has a love for food.

There's a whole series of these I guess.
Just another example of how food and cooking is an art, it makes it's way into the arts. It affects the senses, it makes the heart swoon, it can infuriate, it can simmer the soul, it can cause nightmares, it can bring lives together, it can communicate peace, it can start historical events, it can ignite rage within the minds of those who work in it. What ever it does, it's world wide. "You gotta the rest of your life".

Oysterfest 09












The Annual Lowcountry Oysterfest is always a good time. The thing is, when you live and work here (in a restaurant), you'll probably have to work while the Chef takes off that day to go to the oysterfest. If you're a Sous Chef that is.




Luckily, I'm just a Line cook for this scenario. So, i was able to attend......and bribe my nephew Kane into going up in front of the main stage and showing off a couple of his "dope moves", what neither of us expected, was the singer from the band calling him back to center of the stage to do a little more dancing for the couple thousand people looking directly at him.




He took it well and just kept on dancing. I guess it's dancing?
