Just found a bunch of older pictures on my girlfriends laptop. I think the mess of having digital cameras that come and go over the years have caused this. But, this picture reminded me of what I'm not creating right now. I don't really remember what this dish is...but, I'm gonna guess at what I wish it was now. I'm thinking it's a specially seasoned venison leg loin over a chili braised beef and corn stew, masa and savory seasoning braised waffles, with a sauce of Mexican chocolate, natural jus and maple.
It looks like something I'd like to be selling today. Sadly, anything without mashed potatoes is hard to sell right now.
I hate feeling stuck and I hate not being able to create, and man I hate this recession.

Man I know how it feels when your creativity is restricted. I only get to do something I like about once a week in the restaurant. Other times it's just redundant doing another persons food. You need that satisfaction and feeling of pride that you get when you know you put out the best dish you could have with the time, space, equipment and ingredients you had.
That and the knife's getting dull. I look at these older pictures of mine and realize how lame I'm thinking about food now. I'm just taking leftovers and putting them onto a plate and calling it "special". It's good for the restaurant, but not my soul.
