Thanks Monday!

Today was the half marathon. Definitely a getting a little sore. It was a slow race. I believe I heard there were over 30k runners.

[seanocono]

Love it, summ3r. Three people dressed for fun. One person dressed to compete. I would have done the same thing.

[summ3rhays]

I'm dressing (barely) up tomorrow. My wife had a costume for each race. I should have clarified that the others are Disneyworld employees.

[seanocono]

Haha. Yeah, that makes more sense. Can't imagine running a half marathon in those clothes.

Okay, I can't imagine running a half marathon, period

Good luck tomorrow.

I'm up early on a Sunday to drive up to Baltimore to evaluate two candidates for Chef Certifications. I'm an Approved Certification Evaluator (ACE) with the American Culinary Federation (ACF) and will watch these candidates cook for three hours attempting to achieve the level of Certified Executive Chef (CEC).  It should be interesting as it's a rigorous certification process and out of the last 12 candidates I've been a part of evaluating, only 2 have passed.

The candidates will have 3 hours to prepare a 3-course meal, for four people. They will have to demonstrate butchery skills, knife skills, sauce making, sanitation, serious attention to detail, and flavor.

I'll post up some pictures later as the certifications begin.

Can't wait….

Awesome brotha. Just watched Jacques Pepin do some amazing prep like it was a bodily function on Top Chef. I wish I had classic skills.

Bucklers Hard.  This is where many of the ships that fought in the Battle of Trafalgar were built.  These are the shipwrights homes, the water in the distance is the River Beaulieu where the boats (including 74 gunners) were built and launched, the sights, sounds and smells must have been amazing…..

[seawolf]

Sorry gents. Everyone in the building had to sign a confidentiality agreement today. I'm not allowed to post pictures online. Once lawyers get involved, I'm out.

I actually evaluated Certified Executive Pastry Chef candidates today. What an amazing leaning experience working with pastry chefs today.

[FurattoHeddo]

^sounds interesting, what pastries did they make?

[ohighyo]

The kinds he can't talk about

Why would you have to sign confidentiality agreements?

[seawolf]

So weird about the confidentiality agreement. They had to make cakes, frost them, a hot dessert, a cold dessert, and three types of dinner rolls. All in four hours. Pretty intense.
