Thoughts and musings of a former chef navigating the post-kitchen world.
Welcome back, readers and friends! Seems I took a bit of an 11-day absence there. Unintended, to be sure. Just working on a lot of projects these days. I’m back now, so let’s get to it. I’m sick of cooking! Sick of being stuck indoors! …
