Pecha Kucha 12 – The Night Before

February 1, 2012 Comments off

So, after a jam packed month of thinking about the six minutes and forty seconds that Owen and I will have to fill on stage tomorrow, I think we are almost there. The document we have been scribbling away on for the last week has just been closed and Owen has left the building. Sure there were some changes that might throw us a bit tomorrow, but really, when it’s something you are passionate about it should just flow right. I really do hope to see you down at the Metro Cinema tomorrow. You’ll be watching two bread-loving fools dance around stage like no ones watching; even if there are 500+ people in attendance and countless others who will be watching it streamed live on-line thanks to the Edmonton Journal.

If there is one other big plus to this whole experience, it’s the time I’ve spent thinking and writing about food. Something I’ve been leaving on the back burner since last August. So, I want to say thanks to both Owen for agreeing to talk with me, and the Edmonton Next Gen group who accepted the application to speak. I know it’s going to be fun.

Much Love.
Chris.

Still Out of Office – But Getting There

December 13, 2011 2 comments

Hey Everyone.

I hope you are all doing well. As I sit to write this, I can’t believe it’s already December. Not even the beginning, the middle! The end of the year, and the holiday season for that matter, has snuck up on me quicker than Santa’s sleigh. Maybe it’s the lack of Christmas decorations where I’m staying. I think I should probably change that at some point soon. Then again it’ll probably be too late by the time I finish and I’ll just be taking them down. Maybe I can swing by your place for some holiday cheer?

Speaking of homes though, I’ve settled myself into a place with an old friend. This, for the time being, means I have a place to lay my head. As well as feed my starters, make that starter (lost one in the transition), strum my guitars, set up my computer and so forth. And if there is one good thing about relocation, it’s the inspiration provided from my cookbooks which are climbing the walls around my bed.

So where does this leave me you ask?  To be completely honest, it means I’m in a pretty constant state of flux still. Which in turn means that the blog suffers from my random days and current Moksha Yoga kick (50 classes in 49 days!). On the flip side, it also means that life is on the mend. Whoa, I wrote “means” a lot there didn’t I. And it just so happens that the changes I’m undergoing are full of ideas, some of which I’m working very diligently on for the new year. I don’t know if I’ve felt this excited by something food related in a long time. It’s gonna be awesome and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Here’s to a safe and warm festive season. Hopefully we can share a glass of nog, or even just a twitter handshake.

Warm regards,
Chris
