The Deathstar

Blue Crab Season

Delicious Blue Crabs fresh from the Gulf of Mexico. I boiled and shelled them to make from scratch crab cakes.

Many moons ago...

Once upon a time when I was working at Kendall College in Chicago as a culinary instructor I experienced a brief, if not meteoric rise to fame. Followed almost immediately by a return to the shadows. Since I have been so neglectful of this blog over the past two years I felt it only appropriate to begin with an oldie but a goodie.

Ladies and gentleman I was the poster child for egg safety! The American Egg Board chose yours truly to be the face of culinary greatness, as it applies to eggs. I was not able to secure an SAG card so my part is limited to acting, not speaking. Check out my 15 minutes of fame in a series of four short videos titled inspect, clean, test and time.

The Egg Safety Cycle

Over the coming weeks I will be making some updates and changes to the blog. Please bear with me as I resurrect this little treasure trove of food information.
