I'm supposed to be packing for my San Diego trip but I'm putting that off for the time being to do something else I've been putting off: Posting my ( backlog of culinary school projects. ) -

April is going to be a great month. Here is the evidence with which I back my claim:

Oh my god. Simon Beaufoy is writing a screenplay adapted from Sharp Teeth. And Danny Boyle may direct it. THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. I remember thinking some time ago, It'd be really cool if Danny Boyle directed an adaptation of this. AND NOW IT MAY ACTUALLY HAPPEN. SO MUCH FUCKING WIN ( Read more... ) -
I just kaboomed this ka-post.
Sometimes I think that my instructors see me as the poster child for all things Asian. In Safety and Sanitation class, I swear that Chef George stared straight at me when he asked if anyone needed a Chinese version of the ServSafe test. (Never mind the fact that I'm Vietnamese...) Then the other day Chef Devon looked in my direction when she ( Read more... )
