I have gotten word through the grapevine that some folks were wanting a new blog post. I hadn't really doing much aside from working, but when Eddie Lahti says jump, I say I'd better write a post about jumping.
The new job is nothing special. Fairly simple menu, all turn and burn items with a couple of sauces made a la minute. But - BENEFITS - 'nuff said. Get some medical and dental issues taken care of, maybe pick up a prep cook job in the morning once I get closer to the city center.
On that note, I am getting settled in and Austin is beginning to feel like home rather than an extended vacation. I am starting to find my groove and enjoying all the wonders this town has to offer.
Thanksgiving was great! I made duck for the first time. For days, I cooked everything in duck fat which was, to say the least, decadent. I got Link aboard the duck train and now we are thinking we need to have at least one in the freezer at any given point. It also seems as though I'll be lucky enough to get a whole, fresh, wild boar to do my bidding with. An experiment I am truly ecstatic for.
