"If memory serves me correctly".... Don't be afraid of hanging it out there....

It's just a "friendly" gathering of folks that share a love of top notch ingredients, beer, and baseball....

Doogy,

Congratulations, you are now in a whole new world of preparation. What used to seem to take forever will now be done much faster, and much more enjoyable. I am always glad to hear somebody learn knife skills. I think it is by far one of the best rewards that I have learned from school. Good luck, Alan

I have always enjoyed working with food and the preparation is now even more enjoyable due to my newly gained skills. I am sure there are finer knives than the ones I bought, but they are more than adequate. I'm glad I not only learned how to use them but take care of them as well. I recently purchased a nice bamboo cutting board and have ordered a care kit that includes food grade mineral oil, Clapham's beeswax and a few other items for cutting board care. Here is the link to what I am procuring.

Anyone cooking at home would be well advised to take this class at Canmpbell's Gourmet Cottage. It'll be the best $15.00 you ever spent.

That is what happened to me. I loved cooking and working with food so much, that I gave up a really good paying job to go to school and become a chef. There must be something about food that attracts people like moths to the flame. I don't make as much as I used to, but the absolute love and passion I have for the art makes up for the difference. Nothing makes the day brighter than to prepare and cook good eats.

Tonite is fresh tomatoes, fresh onion, fresh potatoes and a nicely seasoned filet mignon. All the fresh stuff comes from the farmer next to where I live. This is the BEST stuff ever. Especially the peaches.

I grew up on local farm raised produce. I spent many a weekend (not voluntarily) helping my mom string beans, or peeling tomatoes, or removing the leaves or stems from strawberries, but the rewards were fantastic. She canned a lot and made a lot of jams and preserves. She also worked 40 at a job as well, I don't know had she got all that done but the fresh food was the best.

Yesterday I picked up yellow and zucchini squash, a giant onion, some huge red ripe mayters, a lil basket of South Carolina peaches, sweet corn (I don't even cook this stuff) and a canned jar of mustard dill pickles. OMG is all I can say. They also had a variety of peppers, melons, yellow, orange and green mayters, white and red new taters and, green beans, lima beans and a variety of jarred items. I am so fortunate to live right next door to this market.
