Jay Talbot’s Ramblings

Prices at the pump are squeezing people and their wallets around the world. At over $4.00 per gallon for gas, over $145 per barrel of oil, and the current sorry state of domestic drilling, something positive has to be done. What if there were a way to drive down the price oil and the price of gas, and hurt oil speculators? There is! Read on for more information..

There’s a petition to force Congress to allow domestic drilling. The website is American Solutions and there is a ton of information there. I signed it, and you should too.

Here’s a quick list of things I’ve learned at culinary school….

1. Knives are sharp! You can seriously injure yourself with these knives!
2. Fire is hot! The BTUs generated by a professional burner are a lot more than any consumer model can even think of!
3. Culinary school is expensive! Expect to spend for this Associates degree as much as you would a Bachelors degree else where!
4. There’s at least one asshole in every class! These guys are the ones who pull an attitude and get bitchy and bossy. Ignore these people or you’ll end up in jail for beating the shit out of them.
5. Potential employers want experience! Without experience, you’re not getting a job in the food industry. Lucky for me, I have an externship lined up to get that experience. In the mean time, I’m supposed to starve.
6. Food is awesome! Nothing beats good food, and nothing brings people together like food.

I’ve been really busy with school lately. It’s tough to make time for anything else, but I hope to be able to update a little more often from now on.

Maybe more later…

It’s coming. It’s getting closer and closer. The day of reckoning will be at hand, and it will be time for me to bid fair-well to my home for the last 32 years. In 6 weeks, it will happen. Austin… Here I come ready or not!

We’ve started packing already. Ya know, just little things that we can live without like movies and stuff. I’m not looking forward to the actual move. Renting the truck. Packing the truck. Unpacking the truck. And all the travel between. I want it over with now. I am excited, however, that my new life will start once it’s all said and done.
