I've moved!

Catch me at my new Tumblr site:

http://lecordonbleuprint.tumblr.com/

Let’s face it…  My phone is with me everywhere, my computer is not.  I am on Tumblr every day, I am rarely on my home computer.  When I take photos documenting my culinary adventures, I post them elsewhere (instagram and facebook, ahem…) and never on the blog.  By changing how I show my food photos, it will be easier for me to post the recipes and stories behind each meal.  I’ve taken pictures of the food I’ve made and eaten in the year of absence that I’ve had from blogging, and hope that over time I’ll be able to share them. (Thanks Tumblr for the genius “queue” feature!)  Enjoy the food you eat, and eat the food you love.  I sure do!

Revival

I am humbled to have been brought back to this place.  Thanks Tyler and Trinity for mentioning that I let this fall to the wayside.  I've wanted to revive this blog for awhile and you gave me the push I needed!  It's fitting that you've prodded me on a day near and dear to many American home cooks... The 100th birthday of Julia Child!  



Google even celebrated Julia Child's birthday!



To say its been awhile is an understatement.  In the time since my last post, I've been trecking along on the path that some call "the path to licensure", I've seen my first building through the entire design process (almost there!) and will see them break ground on it in a few weeks (yippee!), I've been having a ton of fun serving as a director to the National Architectural Accrediting Board, I've found true happiness in yoga and have finally found that "third place" Ray Oldenburg talks about, I've been on many (many) culinary adventures (photos and stories to come soon!), and I might have grown up a little along the way (just a little bit).  I've learned to laugh, to breath deep, and to always remember that life sure is good!

This blog will be a place for me to bring a few of my passions together.  Think of it as a pizza... (yummm pizza!)  Food will definitely still be the main part of it- the dough and sauce; but as with pizza, you can throw a ton of different toppings on it, and it will still taste great!  A meal might remind me of a really awesome building or place, some architect might've ate something cool once and I'll try to make it, or a yoga move I do in a class might inspire me to bake something.  Whatever the inspiration, this will be a way to document food and how it relates to the things I like (and hopefully a thing or two that you like, or else this would just be plain boring... like a quattro fromaggi!).  

The transformation of this blog might take a little time, but like any revival, the change is here and it sure is yummy!  Stay tuned for many new recipes and stories!

Please VOTE for my recipe!

I got some exciting news when I checked my email this morning, from Good.

A few weeks ago, on a whim, and procrastinating for thesis, I decided to enter my Maple Apple Rhubarb Compote recipe to Good Magazine's Spring Crowdsourced Cookbook... and I got in!

Please try it out for breakfast or desert this week and VOTE for me to be the "Reader's Choice Recipe".

Voting ends Thursday.

Here's the link to the submissions, vote for me!
