Just found a couple of the last stragglers of shots hiding out in my phone. These were snapped at the last chefs table of the year. A wonderful couple and their close friends...there to enjoy anything and everything we care to dish up and out. They are two of the kindest souls I know. They truly enjoy what we do for them and what we cook. What I cook comes from my heart and soul and it shows. When that creativity is stifled, it also shows...it lacks passion, lacks imagination... it starts to lose it's flame...therefore, it dwindles. It is a fact. Fortunately, these folks always get me inspired to cook and create the new. We were a bit preoccupied so not many shots were taken, but a closing view of 2011...cant wait till next year!
