As promised- here’s the story of Epi the Hen. . . Rooster?. . . Hen. . . We found her in the parking lot at school. Someone in the business complex said she had been there for days. We tried to catch her that day but she is a wild thing. Mr. Plate and I […]
Oh Canada!
I love CANADA. Is it just me, or are the majority of Canadians extra polite? I know in general it’s not good to generalize, but I truly have been impressed overall in each of my Canadian interactions. Mr. Plate and I had been contemplating what to do this summer. Prior to getting my unexpected […]
A Glimpse
Hello again, It’s been awhile! I had hoped, maybe overly optimistically, that I would continue to post EVERY week after school ended. I should have made that happen but in the excitement of traveling to see family and the holidays I got out of the habit. I have been keeping a mental tally of a […]
Rustic Roots, the Final Event
We are FINISHED!!! Well, at least with classes. After this post is published I will only have a few assisting hours at the school and my externship hours to officially get my professional chef certificate.

In the Raw, emotions & all.
Hello Again, We took Little Plate Trick or Treating this week, yes, we are normal people ;). She had such a fun time. She enjoyed knocking on the doors and getting a little treat from the kind people in the Austin suburban neighborhood we walked around. At one stop a little girl about her size […]
