Spring has sprung.!
Every year I get a a couple of Robin families visit me, they always go to the exact same tree, same branch and about the same time. This year I decided to photograph them. It's a beautiful thing to watch life develop before your eyes. There are three birds in this one very small nest, talk about close living arrangements. Photographing wild life has it's challenges, you don't want to disturb nature, you have to work around the lighting and you can be in some tuff places. It was challenging but this was a fun little project.

You know what the great thing is about the web? You can rant and rave and either someone will read it or not. Today, I had to turn NPR (national public radio) off. Why you ask? well I had the displeasure of hearing Anthony Bourdain talk about himself and give his expert advise! This guy is a complete fake in my opinion. First he has not worked in our industry for like an and second he is just a pathetic greedy mangler. I recently recieved tickets to see him live at the Lowell performing arts center in Lowell Mass and I was so disappointed with his show that we left about fifteen minutes after the beginning. Couple suggestions Mr Big Chef Anthony: First, you should have some visual effects going on in your back grungy. Second, you should stop beating up those who do work in the industry that make a living the hard way, they earn it! You want to be a TV star, go for it, but stop using my industry to exploit your needs to be famous. Find some other industry to make your millions on. You're out of touch and much to old to hang with us anyways!

We do many customer events in a year. I enjoy doing them because it really gives everybody the opportunity to show some creative juice. Though they are stressful and and some times harder to do than say plate for a thousand people, It's well worth it to see the Chefs ideas come to life. This is Craig, one of our Banquet Chefs putting together a dish consisting of pickled fennel, heirloom tomatoes, Poussin with natural juices. I'm really proud of what our staff can accomplish and even more proud of of how far they have come since we first joined forces.
