I am officially working as a caterer!

I am so excited. I was offered a position with a caterer earlier this week and I proudly accepted. My first event is a private party here in Encinitas on Dec 12. I cannot wait. These last few years of volunteering at the awesome San Diego Bay Food & Wine Festival has paid off and I didn't even expect it. That's the best part. It was a great surprise. Thanks so much to Michelle Metter and Ken of the festival. I really appreciate it. Have a nice weekend and have fun cooking!

Julie & Julia

The premiere of Julie and Julia was wonderful last night. Thank you to the San Diego Bay Food & Wine Festival for the tickets. I can't wait for the festival again this year. http://www.worldofwineevents.com/ I am looking forward to working and attending again this year. If you love food and cooking you will love the movie, esp. if you are a Julia Child fan. She made an amazing Beef Bourguignon I am going to make next week. You can find it here, http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/recipe?id=8222804 I was drooling as we left the theater. Definitely check it out when it comes out on Fri.

Yesterday I made homemade mushroom and Canadian bacon pizza for lunch. I wanted Pepperoni but was out. We always use Alton Brown's dough recipe. It's awesome. I have been using it for years. You can find it here http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pizza-pizzas-recipe/index.html

Have a great day and Happy Cooking!
