Let's talk Food for a minute.

Hi, I'm moving around a little late this early afternoon. Well, I left the bistro I helped open and have moved on to one of my all time favorite restaurants. I never mention the names publicly on the blog, but if you must know, well then you can email me and I will be happy to tell you.
If your a foodie it will be very easy to figure it out anyway.

Been doing Italian for the past while and after opening the bistro in the Woodlands, I have to tell you it was quite exciting to move downtown to a 40 year institution in Houston. It burned down during Ike and reopened in 2010. The last hint is that we serve cajun cuisine with a continental flair. A regular taste of "Nawlins".

I am saucier chef de parti, which is a fancy way of saying "the saute line cook". What the hell does that mean? Well without getting into a culinary lesson, the traditional large kitchen staff was set up under the "brigade" system. Yes, that is a military term as well. In the kitchen it is a chain of command or order to the actual food production.
It was developed by Escoffier and identifies who's who and what their responsibilities are. It's really very interesting, even if your not all that into food. Moving on.

I was saying, it is an honor to be part of such history and tradition that this restaurant offers. Then there is the food!!! Oh my gosh, the meats, the fowl, the fish and the soups. The sauces, the desserts. The best of the best and only, yes only, the freshest ingredients. At my station I prepare the red fish in a chardonnay fume with risotto and lump crab topping, or the Texas Strip with a wild mushroom demi on top of lyonnaise potato's with spinache. If fish and steak are not your thing, I also prepare the duck and duck sausage with fried rice a blue berry demi and topped with julienned tomatoes, and bean sprouts presented with a fried quail egg. Yes it frigging rocks. You might want to order something more traditionaly cajun, like a crawfish mache choux, very similiar to etouffe but a few ingredients make it different. There is also the gulf coast shrimp chippiwa. Five jumbo U 12 shrimp sauteed table side and served with corn grits and an acadian sauce that is out of this world. All of this comes from my station, then there are the others that prepare their own menu items that are just as exciting and unique.

I'm getting hungry..... and I just wanted to talk about something other than obozo for a change. Now that the bistro is up and running and I have moved to my dream job, I will have more time to tell you just what I think!
Peace, from Texas!

Fonda on Obama.... and the left. Obama sucks.... still!

Sup y'all,

This caught my eye this am. Peter Fonda at the Cannes talking about long range rifles and Barry O. Seems like he has committed a federal crime, or at least that is what all the lefties are claiming. Wonder how sister Jane would have have felt about all of this? Oh wait, she's not dead, she's just old and bitter. Life is so funny sometimes. The left, the left, the left. If this bunch of snot nosed, weak knee'd pussies knew anything at all about the real world, they would be crying for their momma.

Ok we finally got Osama, and who took the credit? Oh yeah, it was o'bozo. Funny how he was so frigging critical of the Bush policies, yet we see this dipshit starting to take the same route, making ninety degree policy changes. I am ashamed of this idiot, I am embarrassed at what he has made the U.S. look like. 2012 cannot get here fast enough.

Let me tell you something to watch for. Your gonna hear all about how o'bozo's approval rating is going up, how the lefty/lib/dems are starting to get their "momentum" back from the conservatives...., no HOLD that, from the AMERICAN people. It's all BULLSHIT!! If you have one iota of intelligence, Talk to some people that are not in your Circle of influence or friends. Ask them about o'bozo, I bet you 10 to 1 that there are more o'bozo haters than there are supporters. In all communities!

I think we spend way to much money on Israel, having said that, this just may be what pushes barry over the edge. His muslim belief has caused him to piss off the Jewish people and he has no idea of how large that political base is. Barry I am going to love watching you make excuses for your presidency for the rest of my life. All these millions going to the middle east, you really are an absolute idiot.

We have not made it through this administration yet, God willing we will overcome this dufus! I try to stay focused and look at the bright side. It has been glorious to not have to see and hear piglosi every day in the media. Harry Reid's kid made me feel better about myself by his corruptness coming to light, Harry's days are numbered too. I am really very excited to see what happens to Barney Frank, I kind of hope it goes down like the IMF chairman, with the exception that Barney chases some 28 year old guy who beats the shit out of him. Who knows....could happen.
