Why I don’t have comments on my blogs

I had comments on my previous blogs and while it was great to respond to comments and questions, it can also be very time consuming. I currently manage two of my own blogs and 6 customer’s blogs on which I do moderate the comments. My feelings about my own blogs, if people find them useful [...]

Have they invented cloning yet? Part II

I struggle to remain a sole person at my business, as I want my clients, who are all important to me, to get ME on the phone, to have ME to deal with if they need something and for ME to be the one to do the work for them. While this seem selfish, i.e, [...]

Have they invented cloning yet? Part I

If I knew then about what the online and tech industry would have to do to stay on top of everything in terms of new and emerging marketing, technology, social networking, web 2.0 and the new industry standards. I am not sure whether I would have changed careers or not. I try to spend at [...]

Nut Huggers and Mangy Gerkins

I subscribe to the Urban Dictionary word of the day email, because like the Adrants newsletter, there is usually something in it to snicker about. Last week the word of the day was nut huggers and when I read the definition, I had to write about what it reminded me of.
I worked in Vermont for [...]

A tad more to mixed feelings…

I was reminded of my step-daughter this morning and the “outfit” nails thing. Having at 13 started dishwashing in the back of the house and cutting my nails extremely short, to this day I cannot tolerate long nails.

The movie “Waiting”

We had the dubious pleasure of renting “Waiting” last night. Yes we had heard it was bad, but we were looking forward to seeing the waiters and cooks supposedly get “revenge” on the bad customers. There were some genuinely funny moments but honestly I know chef/cooks mistreat food but I have NEVER seen them rub [...]

Life as a Chef

There are times I miss being a Chef. I miss the adrenaline rush of being on the line and being slammed. I miss munching on Caesar salad leftovers at two in the morning and having a glass of wine at the end of the night with the owner to discuss how the night went. If [...]

The wonders of spell-check!

I have to make this comment about Chefs that don’t run spell check on their menus. I HAD to run spell check on my menus when I was cooking because not only am I a terrible speller, I am dyslexic as all get out. I wish I was kidding!
This post is prompted by one of [...]

A disappointing meal out in CA

We just got back this Sunday from out in Santa Monica. Being the very few times of the year that we go out to eat every night as opposed to here in NH, where the majority of the restaurants are sadly lacking close by, it’s usually a fun experience.
We had a most un-fun experience at [...]
