Usually I don't market my own books here even though this is where I have the most contact with people. I kind of do a couple of posts on tiktok and even fewer on instagram
but it is time to leave tiktok
instagram isn't really any better
do I start annoying you all with book posts?

The lesson that I learned about recipes while working as a line cook and later while helping to record our recipes for the restaurant cookbook is that the trick to good cooking is ignoring the timing and using your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and fingers to tell when to move to the next step.

I've spent my day tracking down Canadian companies that have direct or indirect contracts supporting ICE operations.
So far, I've found NINE. I've reached out to all of them.
