I suppose I should say something relevant here.

Ethan, your website looks GREAT.
but the desserts you are making look even better!

someday I'll get down to the Oakroom. Probably before I go on my culinary tour of Spain, I suspect.

Thank you.

It's been a bit of a work in progress.
I'd been using another blog for my food/work stuff for the past few years.
I ran across a few blogs through wordpress.com and really liked the format - it was a bit more of what i was looking for to begin with.

I got most of the major formatting of the page done a few weeks ago, but never got around to posting any entries until last night. I plan/hope to keep it pretty regularly maintain with at least updates as well as ideas that are being thrown around.



The majority of those plates are from my Asiatique days - I haven't even been at the Oakroom a month yet.
More are likely to come in the coming weeks, once things get rolling.
I really need to get a new camera, the current one i have tends to only work sporadically, hence the wonderful camera phone quality photos.

Thank you again.
And I can ensure you that when you do make it in; you'll have an incredible dining experience.

I already built you a link from LouisvilleHotBytes, by the way. We use WordPress (our own installation, on Iglou) for the main site ... good pick. It's hard to choose between WordPress and Movable Type (which we also use for some products). They're both very powerful content management software.

Overnight, and I'm borderline syndicated. Haha. j/k.

I suppose i should should say thank you(?)

The only mishap I've had with it so far was using html code while writing an entry, and it formatted all weird. So i ended up just using the built in coding tools.
That, and i have to seriously scale down the images i post on the entries down to 400x300 pixels, to keep it visible in the frame.
I still need to play around with it a bit more, and figure out/learn all the features it has and is capable of... It's an entirely different format that what I've used before...
It's almost too user friendly and idiot proof!
Which I hope will enable me to do some really cool stuff with it graphically and content-wise.

I suppose i should quit rambling now, huh?

Robin,

Forget I even mentioned the price of sod. I don't want to have my own what's the frequency, Kenneth moment with some one who looks and speaks like Max Von Sydow. This conversation never took place and I'm still at home.....yeah...still at home.

Thanks for all your hard work, Robin. Your efforts truly are appreciated.

rats.

Asiatique is actually in the realm of affordability for me, too.

oh well.

If it's any help...
I'm pretty sure the dessert menu in place right now at Asiatique is the last one i wrote. All my recipes and plate ups and i trained my replacement.
Most everything was on par when i left.

So if you've got an itch, it's still there as an option for the time being.

Have a look here for the menu:

I do remember going there once with my Pops for a meeting and trying a variety of SCRUMPTIOUS sorbets.

although, they were so pretty to look at and presented so elegantly that it sort of hurt my heart to attack them with a spoon.


I got over it, needless to say.

Don't let it hurt your heart too much.
I'd be out of a job if no one ate them.

good point.

but I'm primarily a visual artist, so I do hate to mess up things that are nice to look at.

fortunately for you, I'm also the biggest glutton I know.


speaking of, if you guys EVER need a guinea pig to test recipes on, I'm totally available.

This is wonderful Robin. Congratulations and thanks

Thanks Robin! Huge improvement!

I really like the new site - navigating is much easier.

Still getting used to being listed as I lurk...

Cheers,

Doug

Love the new format Robin, thanks!
