Coincidentally Bob recently celebrated his birthday. He has refined his cooking prowess over the time that i have known him. When asked what is he going to explore next (I thought travel) – he answer was sauces. It could have been anything – however that was where his mind and the conversations went. I explored the idea of getting for his birthday the Saucier’s Apprentice A Modern Guide to Classic French Sauces for the Home and the Saucier’s Apprentice: One Long Strange Trip through the Great Cooking Schools of Europe, maybe Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential…. All are must reads.
However for Bobs culinary journey is it must continue with Le Repertoire De La Cuisine. It is a shorthand guide to sauces and sauce garnish. It is in my toolbox. Keep Cooking Robert. Happy Birthday.

Denver post article of November 4th 2020 has written “Why some restaurants aren’t closed, but they are not open, either” . With COVID cases on the rise, and restaurants that accommodate indoor seating only and serves family -style meals, some restaurants have decided to board up the windows. Wow, the question is then – how could this not be closed?
Huge sigh. OPTICS? . the paradox of being in limbo and boarding up windows and not closing is a being in this in between state is called purgatory. This time last year we were at our best. Today we board up the windows but not closed.
