my father

i don't really know if my father is a great man. but he is to me. i am the cook that i am in part because of him.  which is weird because i only saw my father make two things in all his life. one of them being macaroni with milk and the other being grilled cheese. which he burnt. which is weird because i just realized that i did a course tonight for a friend that i but burnt bread on. i purposely put a little extra char on a grilled piece of walnut bread. scraped it with the back of a knife to remove the charred bits,then added a little black salt to the black bits along with small pieces of scraped bread and viola..........i little bit of my father in me.

that's what im going to do

how about this. write three different 9 course tasting menus. take each course and write it down on a tiny piece of paper. crumble up each piece of paper and put it in a brown paper bag. shake up the bag . pull out one crumbled up  piece of paper at a time and rewrite it on a large piece of paper. repeat 26 more times covering the entire piece of paper.  that's what i'm going to do.
