Simply put, this is what we have been doing lately. Twists and turns along the road, new ideas, new concepts, and sometimes just a new road and/or different perspective. These last few dishes and posts have been inspired from the cool peeps that have graced us with their presence as well as the tease of spring we have experienced here in the northwest. Hope we didn't disappoint. We all have challenges with personal emotions at times and sometimes hard to get the energy to write, but either way, the food comes out in the form that it does... for better or for worse right?
