CHEF!

CHEF!
So you're wondering what the heck I've been doing... I haven't written in a while, and laundry doesn't take THAT much time...
I'm going to be a chef! Can you dig it? I am going to start teaching a gourmet foods course at Mesa Community College in the spring. I'm way excited, but kind of nervous, too. What do I say to 30 people slavering for butter, heavy cream, and truffles? TO YOUR KITCHENS! That's right - they get to cook these great foods. I am hoping to cover all sorts of cuisines and culinary techniques, but I only get 4 hours per class. That's not much time. I hope I can keep them entertained.
Thanks to Lori Zienkowicz, KSU grad and program director, for giving me the job. I really think I want to teach college someday, so this is a step in the right direction.
I've also been arranging our Europe trip this winter, and that's been taking some time. I was starting to get worried when the first six reservation requests were turned down in Vienna. But now we've got a room at the Pension Hargita - you can check out the website at http://www.hargita.at/de/home/index.asp.
More good news is the fact that the weather is absolutely gorgeous now - so we've started hiking again, much to the chagrin of my muscles. We hiked South Mountain on Saturday, and aside from a sunburn, everything was great. The highlight of the trip was seeing the crew of American Chopper at the top. Weird. Mikey was there, but Paulie and Senior were not. We didn't know what to do, so we ignored them. I even had my camera with me and wussed out! Oh well. I'm sure they get tired of the Paparazzi.
Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away - I know Travis and I are looking forward to the long weekend. Then it's just a few short weeks and we're off to the continent!
Cheerio!
