| That sounds like a fun one, shroomgirl. Are most of the other shroom people chefs, or just aficionados?

| Yep roasted tomato sauce with a hit of dijon...works well....CC you are amazing! Nope there is nothing like being prepped, everything is going smoothly and your doing it in a strange place...(outdoors or girlscout camp come to mind)and it's coming together.... I figured out a long time ago that when I'm personal cheffing for 2 people (5 complete meals and 3 desserts) it takes more brain power and much more energy than doing one hdo for 600. Or one meal for 300. Now to do the events that CC does takes an amazing staff.....and an incredibly amazing leader. Shroom folks are not cooks/chefs we've had a few that cooked professionally; one or two a year but they never raise their hands to do stuff in the woods. There's a good segment of good home cooks....That's the IE gourmet group I just gave up the 2 year reins....whew.....now I'm down to only chairing programs for a professional group, and chairing Chef's Collaborative and being on the Gov's Task Force....oh yeah and the market and teaching and and and and [ August 24, 2001: Message edited by: shroomgirl ] |
