I should be doing this assignment. The subject matter is interesting. I need to get it done tout suite. But, I’m not. The pile of papers to my left comes in to view about every 4.4 seconds but I’m not dealing. My coffee is lukewarm and could do with being reheated. Nope not going...

A few months ago, I caught up with Richard Blais — the winner of Top Chef: All Stars. On a stop on his road trip with his family, he took time to talk to me. He’s a great guy! Anyway, here’s the transcript from my interview with him… – Musings: What have you enjoyed...

I’ll say at the outset that a good cook I am not. In fact my children know that I am quite capable of cooking Cajun food and not in a good way. We never need to check the batteries in our smoke detector…let’s leave it at that shall we. Speaking of good cooks… The...
