It turns out that one can become very distracted from blogging when one gets caught up in this trivial thing one calls "Real Life"
Yeah, I thought I would be back at this by Thanksgiving at least, but not so much.
Update:Wifey, who has spent about 6 out of the last 7 weeks in a hospital in West Virginia, is out, and we think it's to stay
-Greta the dog has settled in very nicely, and has been well received by the neighbors - very important.
-I fly to Baltimore tomorrow to meet up with wifey and family at brother in laws. It will be grounding to see family, been to long.
-I have accepted an Executive Chef position with Apartm3nt, a recently opened lounge/restaurant. Creating a culinary identity has been a struggle for me with this place, but I think we are trending towards comfort/ haute gastropub. Needless to say, the real challenge is just beginning, but I truly look forward to building a small tight-knit team of passionate cooks. This will be a working chef position (is there any other?), so it's important to be standing beside someone who really has a vested interest in the success of the menu.
-As things unfold, I hope that this site becomes a place where I can highlight the work that my kitchen staff and I put together, as well as a way to highlight our involvement with the Island itself. ie the people, the land, and the ocean.
