Clown New Psycho Pastry Chef Joins Chef Talk!

Yep, that's right kids. Another certifiably crazy culinary professional has arrived to mix it up a bit.
Yo!

My name is Annie, and I've been PC'ing for 16 years. I'm an eGullet refugee.


I can do everything in the pastry arts, bread, laminated doughs, pies, cookies muffins, petit fours, scones, blah blah blah.

But cakes, especially are my specialty.
I have a web site and all that if you want to have a look-see.

I live in the Pacific Northwest.....Port Townsend Washington specifically.
Married to the Mayor. Have one step-son who is almost off to college.
Four cats. One brother in Minnesota (he makes a mean pizza).

I just turned 44.....not havin' a hard time with the age thing actually....I'm just glad I'm not 18 anymore!

See y'all in the forums.....

Annie,
Finally a NW member! I'm in Seattle. Most people in here are from the Mid West. Fortunately, I spend a lot of time in Chicago, so I can chat a bit.
Let's get some interest in NW cusine going!
Later,
L

Hi Annie and welcome to Chef Talk. eGullet's loss is our gain! You'll find the atmosphere here is friendly and flame-free. You'll also find a lot of other pastry chefs here to share with and learn from. Check out those forums and get started!

There's a lot here, so get crackin'. We'll look forward to your posts.

Regards,
Mezzaluna

Don't expect to find anywhere near the quality of poster here than you will at egullet. If egullet is a Keller restaurant this site is a hooters.

If you're here, that must mean you like Hooters.

Not the hot PC chicks like us.....no way......

Hi, chefpeon, I know you from egullet. I guess some of us can hang in a Hooters or a keller restaurant. This place is usually quite friendly, in spite of what you've just witnessed. I hope you can spend some time here and add to our pastry community. It's a fine bunch of pros and amateurs.

The open chat with amateurs and pros alike is what makes cheftalk what it is, and it is not snooty or competitive; it's just a friendly place to learn and chat about the trade.

Welcome.

Hey, chefpeon, nice to see you here, now! As momoreg said, this site is very different from eG (where, btw, I haven't been allowed to post in almost a year and a half ). We get people at all levels, from absolutely clueless to top pros, but what binds us all together is that everyone is pretty focussed on the food, has a strong interest, and wants to learn, teach, or both. Nobody is here to show off. Well, not much. And the moderation is much more reasonable.

Not to hijack the thread, but that statement, knowing you is surprising! Care to enlighten?
