Rabbit

I'll always be a systems engineer > 😊

      Simply the best Baby Backs since living in NC.

 Here is a typical Alaskan Cod dinner that I prepared for myself. It seems that there is nothing special about this plate but when I view it from a global perspective, that all changes.

 We are experiencing a global warming crisis and if you haven't already begun to act in a constructive manner, your children and grandchildren may never eat such a simple meal.

  Would you believe that after all you've seen, my recipe for this 

                                sub sandwich is the only recipe I consider guarded.

                                                               Prep for a veal sub.

                                                       Open face souvlaki.

    I also cook for my puppy, "Ven Aca". His name

 is, "Mirage" on paper yet I didn't teach him any English so...

My American Akita

"VenAca" likes crab and lobster to.

 Quite a few of these dishes are my own creations mixing flavors and spices from the four corners of the world.

 I began as a child preparing foods and I never write down recipes because I like to take into account, the country, the atmosphere and desires of my guests. When it's allowed I always ask, "Are you in the mood for Southern, spicy, tangy, fruity, traditional, etc"?

 In my opinion, when you pay attention to your guest's desires, foods should seldom require accouterments.

                                              Bon Appétit.
