Guys, just wanted to write a quick blog post introducing my newest pet, Ser Barristan Selmy (named after the Game of Thrones character).  He’s a seven month old puppy that just fell into The Russian and my hands.

The Russian and I are very happy (though not very rested) new parents to the pooch, who is joining Ajax into our family.

The hedgehog is obviously very nervous about his new younger brother, but I have no doubt they will be fast friends.  I also am so excited about my new job as a line cook at The Regal Beagle, and I am finally starting to feel a little more comfortable there.  Only time will tell if I can make it there.

So where’s the food today? Well, it’s not here.  While my life does revolve a lot around food my life isn’t totally about food. I have a wonderful family, and I just wanted to share.  Without family and friends, cooking would not be as fun for me. Cooking is love to me, and there is nothing better than sharing that love with those you love (that’s a lot of love). It’s always good to keep that in mind and then it can be easy to live a healthy life. Happy cooking!
