Re: Hi
Hello!
Tell us about yourself? Where are you from? What part of OC do you live? What do you like to do? Do you like Barbies?
lol 10yrs...
Hi! Cute name.
I live in Trabuco Canyon with my Husband and two fur babies. I went to culinary school in Pasadena and worked as a private chef for a while. Now I work in HR (I know it's a switch from chef but it's a long story). My hobbies include an obsession with reality TV, eating, cooking, and did I mention eating? I do like barbies and used to have collector barbies but sadly I think they ended up at goodwill or in the trash.
You're killing me.
What kind of dogs?
We are big fans of reality tv, eating, and cooking on this board. Hope you like it here. Just make a mental note that I'm the nicest of the bunch.
hi! nice introduction.
many of us here like to eat.
10years like barbies.
Hi there!
And mm, cupcakes.

Hi! :-)
As a former chef who likes reality tv, what do you think of shows like Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen?
welcome! my sister is a chef, she went to culinary school at CIA (I think that's what it's called?) up in SF.
are you from the area or did you just recently move?
I LOVE Top Chef! I have watched Hell's kitchen but I think the yelling is a little over the top and a little ridiculous at times. I think Top Chef has better, talented chefs.
I think there is a CIA in San Fran. I have always lived in Orange County.

brother wan went to culinary school in pasadena, too! he's looking for a job right now.
here's my test: how do you feel about bacon? bacon with chocolate? bacon in caramel? bacon with...anything?
Bacon is my friend. I would use bacon or cook in bacon grease at any possible chance I get (does that sound gross?). If you love bacon with chocolate you must go to Animal in LA they have a to die for frozen bacon chocolate dessert.
animal is #1 on my list of wishes for birthday month. and now even more so - frozen bacon chocolate? mmm. i just polished off the last of my chocolate-covered bacon stash yesterday.
Hello nice to meet you! I have a confession to make to you. I read your blog all the time and really enjoy your opinions on food and restaurants. I hope I wasn't kissing too much ass.
well, I think we've established you will fit in quite nicely here.
please post often!
I'm not a picky girl when it comes to cupcakes I love them all. But if I had to pick one it would have to be a chocolate cupcake with a peanut butter cream cheese icing.
wan just sent me a recipe for this kind of cupcake. but with bacon added.
i've got a great recipe bookmarked that i'm going to try next week. chocolate cupcake, peanut butter/cream cheese mousse topping. WITH BACON.
JINX!
mmmmm..that sounds delicious! I love peanut butter and chocolate. I'm that weird girl who would dip her oreo into peanut butter. Wow! that makes me sound like a total fat ass.
Dude, not a fatass! I would do the same thing! I LOOOVVEEE peanut butter...add chocolate and I'm in for sure!
i have done this. i used to keep a jar of peanut butter in my desk at work at all times. and would just eat scoops out of it randomly. or when things got stressful. heh.
