I know I’m spoiled with my day job

But take the time to make yourself good food. Make it from scratch, try something new, risk a new ingredient or technique and savor a meal, you made, with your community.

Restaurants are great, private chefs are even better - but nothing beats a meal you made yourself at home.

The other day I got the honor of donating my time at in Atascadero!

We joined Kate in teaching a class on focaccia! My big point to teach was anything could go on focaccia, use up those ingredients!

So I got home and made a Bean and Corn Focaccia to dip into a Chicken Tortilla Soup!

What happens to Catering leftovers, food waste, and items that have expired?

They get COMPOSTED!

Here that compost has been processed with winery cardboard, rabbit and chicken manure, and matured for a year. It's then mixed with Red Clay, Lavender Hydrosol, and hand-gathered California Poppy Seed's from Balefire Farms

Now they'll dry overnight and be ready to toss out into the country side during storm season to proliferate an important and native plant. Food is so much more than what we eat, where and how it was grown, and where it goes after it's expired can do so much more to bring health to our soil and our areas. We do our part as much as possible, and these little Clay Seed Bombs are the perfect gift!

When you wear a mask, you’re not protecting yourself, you’re protecting others. Look at the spray of this with, and without a single folded paper towel. Now imagine a sneeze, a cough. Wear a mask. If you want to go out and get sick, step into the bathroom and lick a toilet seat. I heard that went well. #wearamask #protectothers #community #worktogether

I usually keep business and personal separate- BUT PRUE PUG IS HOME! Vet still thinks it was strychnine poisoning, introduced by a poisoned treat, but it could also be PDE. If it’s PDE it’s not going to be great, but with the strychnine she’ll make a full recovery. It’ll be a long road ahead of her, but she’s at home and hungry already! #theprancingpug

Science and food, it’s tough to see, but the surface tension in this salad dressing made the coolest designs. #catering #events #science #saladdressing #theprancingchef #personalchef #privatechef
