over all .......

Valentine's day prix fixe was a great gage at what we can accomplish now that another set of solid hands is present. The scallop, semolina gnocchi, and pork belly first course dishes all were extremely solid, second course yes and no. We ended up changing the short rib ravioli into a croquet. And i still feel like our weak link is pastry obviously because that is the least experienced area for all of us. O and we got an induction burner which really opens up the prep door especially during a busy lunch when the entire six burner is in use.

been a long time ......

well well well... i suppose since a lot has changed i should start updating this thing. Well i no longer live in Pittsburgh, my girlfriend is now my fiance, and i am cooking in a small southern Ohio college town. Valentines day is coming up and you can expect some pics and menu to follow.
