I’m in culinary school one night a week for 6 months here in Phoenix, AZ. I’m doing this not to become a professional chef, I just want to improve my skills. Tonight we learn about sauces.

For ten years my food blog The Fumbling Foodie has been on TypePad.  It’s time to move it to a better more modern platform.  I already have a dozen or so self-hosted WordPress blogs so that’s where it is going.

I start Culinary school tonight. There is a school here in Phoenix, Arizona designed for passionate amateur chefs who don’t want to give up their day jobs. I’m looking forward to taking my skills to the next level.
