Southern Break

Last week to celebrate my Mom’s birthday, our family went down to our house in Charleston, SC. There is no city in this country as charming as Charleston, part of me wishes that I was Southern. There’s just something very romantic about being a Southern Belle … too bad I’ve got a mouth of a sailor (or should I say Chef) on me sometimes …

Yes, people walk slow, talk slow, and enjoy a more leisurely pace than uptight North Easterners but there’s something truly wonderful about the South. The food being one of them.

So while I do not have my computer with me today (ah! I know, I’m the world’s worst food blogger) I will update with pictures and stories tomorrow. Let’s just say there was lots of butter, booze, and BBQ.

Today I will be at home in New Jersey, baking and prepping for a graduation celebration I’m catering for in California on Sunday. Unfortunately, I will just be shipping these items to California, not visiting …

The rest of my week will be spent catering for Eat Catering NYC on the site of an HGTV pilot. It’s going to be a long week, but despite the long hours, lack of sleep, and the constant unpredictability of being a chef, I’m really looking forward to it.

Am I crazy to already be cooking at 7 am this morning? Don’t answer that.
