Vacation!

Kayaking! from I am david on Vimeo.

My vacation with my Wife was AWESOME! we had a great time camping at Silver Falls State Park. We hiked six miles and saw some awesome water falls, we had some great food! (Thai Dish in Silverton Oregon, the yellow curry is AMAZING!) We really just had a good opportunity to spend some quality time together which is something that we have not been able to do in a while.
Yesterday we went Kayaking with my mom, Bob and Bethany. It was a lot of fun.
I’m becoming more and more outdoorsy and active since loosing weight and it has been so great!

last friday of T2 brought the first smiles of our second term. WE CHANGED GROUPS!!!! and our team is back together, Kannon, Seth an I! friday was a fun day, we had a great time in the kitchen!
It’s about time!
So here is a recap of last week:
Each Day after school I headed over to CineRent West studios to meet up with Lucy Neilson and her assistant Tony. I had a great time with them watching how its done and helping out where needed. They even had be do a few things on set which was fun! I also met with Photographer Michael Shay of Polara Studios who is great at what he does. His lighting is beautiful, go check out his work!

I am really excited because this week is vacation week! Jordyn and I are heading down to Silver Falls for a few nights for some camping. We are really looking forward to our first camping trip together!

Culinary Journey: Day Forty Four

Today my allergies were killing me, I really didn’t feel good and T2 is dragging on at a slow pace. The whole class really isn’t enjoying the second term as we were in the first. It has just been a bit dull, ill-organized and again the class/group mix is horrible. I feel bad for having nothing good to report about school, it’s just not really going too well right now.

I praying for a better attitude tomorrow. I’m scheduled to meet with Lucy Nielson, the Food Stylist after class.

Culinary Journey: Day Forty Three

Well, I haven’t blown up at my group yet…. it’s bound to happen.
So far, I’m not enjoying T2 very much, most in part to the class change.
How it works is, in each term there are two classes work separately and simultaneously, then in T2 they get mixed up and some people go to management courses. Chef Vaidya (from T1) taught us Quality! Quality! Quality! and to never sacrifice quality, never take shortcuts, ever. I learned so much from Chef Vaidya that I really have taken to heart. When it comes to my group (whom I have dubbed the “Shortcut Queens”) I am doubting that they ever met chef Vaidya, or so it seems. The standards are so off from ours to theres. It is SO FRUSTRATING! I can’t forget to mention that one nearly dropped a knife on my head (only inches away) don’t worry though, they just laughed it off…..
They only know me as the “Quiet Guy” if they knew me, they would know that, Me-Quiet = Me-PISSED OFF.
So there is some venting. (note: at school my blog is no secret, some people check it out. this blog is more of an open journal for me to look back on, and for loved ones to see, as well as anyone else who is interested. Today theres some negative stuff going on, therefore, I’m honest but I won’t use names, I’ll maintain some amount of decency.)

As far as class time, thats going ok, I’m just finding myself extremely pressed for time.

An Awesome Note! Next week I have been invited to by an Incredible Food Stylist; Lucy Neilson to come check out her current project! I’m really Excited for this! It’s going to be interesting and fun for sure!

Culinary Journey: Day Thirty Eight

David Sorrell — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 03:21:19 +0000

Yesterday was the beginning of Our second term (T2). It has started with breakfast food which simply equals FUN! our class is mixed with a few of other T1 students. From the looks of it, there is going to be quite a bit of frustration with other students from the other class. We got our new groups, which didn’t go well. We were working individually and I found that when I gather all my mise en place, I turn around for a second and they have taken things or are just being sloppy. it was really frustrating. It wasn’t cool at all. A lot of people are pretty frustrated with their groups, its really a bummer because we had a really solid class before the switch. We will see how it pans out.
At work, we have a huge event on Saturday that we have been prepping for “Common Ground Unite” so there has been a lot of things consuming my time. Also I now am weighing in at 210 lbs down from 230. thats pretty sweet!

Great Weekend part two!

The beginning to the greatest chicken I have ever had and I can’t believe I made it! I can’t wait to do it again!

My Wife! who sadly didn’t get to enjoy the weekend with me, but a little bit at the end with the family!

I got these sweet square ramekins to use as pinch cups!

I got this chili plant then the pot from goodwill!

I love this part of town, I would love to live here!

and a sunset to end the day!
