a good friend of my wife sent us a book for christmas called "grill this, not that" over the last couple months the wife has been cooking dinners out of it, nothing 5 star but down to earth good food. worth buying!!!

flashback time....
during my younger life worked in many restaurants starting as a scullery technician<dishwasher> junior year in high school was a head cook at clementines, senior year only needed 5 credits so took home ec, nothing like being the teachers pet yeap was teaching the class.
over the years was able to work in some of the finer eating establishments in tahoe and honed my talents under some of the best european chefs, french / german / swiss. worked my way up to exe chef, after 23 years got burned out. get this exe chef to truck driver is that a carrier change or what.
moving forward......
moved out here<north carolina>16 years ago been with the same company now for 15 of them starting as a route driver, now their director of maintenance.
anyway back to cooking still can prepare a 5 star multi course dinner which i love to do for my friends now and then. you know 5 star cooking is great and loads of fun especially when you get them involved in the preparation of it< glasses of wine helps>, since being here have enjoyed learning southern cooking with a tweak.
your possibly asking yourself what is he babbling about.. saw ranches post with pan fried pork chops w/ mash potatoes, thats down right comfort food.
ok back to the book. last night the wife did another recipe from the book. "spicy asian pork burgers" with sweet potato fries and slaw.. it was great to see something from my past turned into something downright deliciously comfort.
sorry no photo had to fend for my 2 burgers..........
