The Culinary Student: Contact TCS

So here's the deal:

I got to thinking that a lot of times people don't want to sign up in order to make a comment on a blog. It's just one more user name and password to remember and heaven knows we all have plenty of them to keep track of.

So, I get it. It's a huge pain. Which is why I decided to make an e-mail address specifically for this blog so that those of you who want to comment but don't want to go through the hassle of making a login can still give me your two cents. In this economy, I can use all the two cents I can get!!

Believe it or not, I really do care immensely about what you think. I enjoy continuing the conversation about food, which is why your opinion, in my opinion, counts. So, don't hesitate to e-mail me with questions, comments, observations, recipes (especially recipes!!!) and anything else you want to talk about. I'm not just here for myself -- though, who are we kidding, I love what I do!! I'm also here to learn, and the only way to do that is to allow myself the opportunity to learn from people who love this culinary world as much as I do.

So thanks for being interested enough to want to get a hold of me! I'll be talkin' to ya soon!

Food Quotes

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new."
-Anton Ego, Ratatouille

"A hippo sandwich is easy to make. All you do is simply take one slice of bread, one slice of cake, some mayonnaise, one onion ring, one hippopotamus, one piece of string, a dash of pepper. That ought to do it. And now comes the problem... biting into it!"
-Shel Silverstein

"A little garlic, judiciously used, won't seriously affect your social life and will tone up more dull dishes than any commodity discovered to date."
