Much going on...

There is so much going on right now, it is almost overwhelming. So lets get right to it...

- Just finished our companies fall food show. That is a difficult event to pull off but it went excellent! Might be the best one I have been a part of since I have been with USF!! Very busy time for us over the past few months.

- Friday Night, September 24: Participating in a chefs cooking competition for a local scholarship fund.

- October 12: March of Dimes Signature Chefs Challenge, another cooking competition.

- There is something so BIG, I do not even want to talk about this yet, but it is going to be very soon and it is really REALLY BIG!! Check back soon!

Observations...

Here are a few random thoughts I have had in my shell of an empty brain the past few days...

- American Kobe or more commonly know as Wagyu is AWESOME!
- It stinks that 3D movies are so much more expensive than a regular 2D film. I boycott 3D whenever possible!
- Spiders scare the crap out of me! For real!!
- I have no confidence in the Washington Redskins this season! Will this be Joe Gibbs revisited?
- I am still trying to embrace my inner Facebook, but it is hard to believe I have anything interesting to say at all.
- Our Pug, Sushi the dog is very silly! He is so funny at times!
- I find cutting the grass strangely relaxing!
- I want to go deep sea fishing!
- I really need to start exercising and eating right again! Have been saying this for a while now.
- I am a closet astronomy junkie! Love looking up at the sky at night!
- Very dissapointed in the new Miller Lite "Vortex" bottle! Just another gimmick.

I guess that is all for now. Cheers!

Feeling Better...

Finally!

I got a new bed! The weird part is I purchased on-line with out trying out. Very scary but I think I like it. Really needed a new sleeping gig, the old bed was so done! Tonight is the first new night.

Had a great work day today! A busy few weeks and probably months coming up! Bring it!

Under the weather...

It seems lately that all I am doing on here is bitching and complaining. Have been sick for most of the week which equals no posts. The flu really stinks; it is an energy zapper! Feeling a little better today. Hope it will be a good weekend of rest, I need to be 100% for next week!

It is a jungle out there...

My hip is feeling better. Most likely an arthritis flare up. It really did hurt!

The grass is so tall, it is really tough to cut. It has been a hot dry summer and have not really had to cut much grass. The temps right now are a bit cooler and it has rained rained rained like crazy the past week. Grass in spots is over 2 feet tall. It is rough but will muddle through it!

Hope it will be a nice quiet weekend!

Getting old?

Most days I feel pretty good but today I feel old. I hate complainers just as much as the next person so I apologize for this little "pity party bitch" session! My hip huts like hell, am almost ready for the emergency room. I tweaked my left shoulder today; my right shoulder has been bum for a year. I guess all of this is just a part of getting old.

I have never really taken very good care of myself and body and it is catching up! I NEED to start walking and exercising again. Not tomorrow, not next week, RIGHT NOW!!
I just need to get off of my fat butt and put one foot in front of the other!

It sucks to be me right this second! OK!! I am over this!

MC Cheffrey!

I was honored to host a small event at a local foods expo yesterday at Botetourt Commons; The Taste of the Blue Ridge Local Foods Expo College Chef's Challenge. It was very challenging to do this live. I could not walk around because of a hard wired mike but it was so much fun! Three chefs from local colleges were competing "Iron Chef" or "Chopped" style with a live audience watching on. Just about all of the food they were cooking with was local! This really was so very cool! I hope I can do something like this again soon!
