I love to cook and for me, today is the biggest challenge of the year.


I don't know why the stress is a rush and the high is in the anticipation but the meal itself is almost anticlimactic. Family, friends, a glass of wine and a tornado in the kitchen...


Bring it!

In the legend of King Arthur, the Fisher King was a renowned angler whose errant ways caused him to be struck dumb in the presence of the sacred chalice. I am no great fisherman, and a steelhead is not the covenant of Christ, but with each of these fish I am rendered speechless.
