Feeling Crabby....

Well I have neglected my blog to visit my home
The San Francisco Bay area!

It's Dungeness Crab Season here and I absolutely Love Crab! What better place to get Crab then Fisherman's Wharf?!

I love the ocean ....especially the salty air of the Bay.

Pier 39 is fun to go do all the tourist things but we wanted to go off a bit from the crowds and headed to Pier 47 with my beautiful Sister her two boys and my Dad. We decided to have lunch at Scomas!

Beyond Fabulous! The amount of fresh Crab you get and the quality is amazing!

and it wouldn't be San Francisco without Sourdough and Clam chowder!
This was just one of my many stops to enjoy crab...

I actually have a great recipe for Crab cakes that since I'm feeling so crabby I'll share it!

What PC1 is cooking

Well this Wednesday I had my Professional Cooking Practical test. I was a bit consumed with the idea of cooking a three course meal in 90 mins! I've been taking this class as a prerequisite to a pastry program that I didn't "point wise" qualify, Plus there is some politics to it and none of my family members nor I know anyone affiliated with the program so I'm on to bigger things. Anyways...This cooking thing has been fun but the class has been a little too serious and most people couldn't handle my Californian personality so I've been on" my own" with a group of eclectic boys. All in all I have a solid A in the class{as of now}.

I am currently signed up for PC2 by the end of the month we will know a little more about our future and well see what happens! Education is wonderful but it can't teach you creativity! If you are an artist and take "Time" to prefect your skills you can achieve your dreams.
