Start your engines...

So I'm in. I start December 2nd. I've been bordering on giddy all day (as giddy as I can get) and am currently drinking a celebratory glass of shiraz (or three). More to come as I dawn the jacket and pants and head into the classroom...

First, preheat the oven...

In the beginning, there was Maggie Gyllenhaal and pure boredom. With a little creativity and some inspiration, it has grown in to a passion. I enjoy cooking. If you didn't know that before, you'll figure it out pretty quickly. This blog will follow my assault on culinary uniformity, as well as my journey through culinary school (coming soon...) and maybe a few political/social rants.

To get you up to speed, I'm living in Portland, working at the World's Largest Gourmet Coffee Retailer, and biding my time in the kitchen (to critical review) until culinary school begins. I enjoy entertaining...whether in the kitchen with friends or on the street with complete strangers. You've missed the squid phase, failed pasta dishes, and countless loaves of bread (my true passion). From here on out, I will keep all interested informed of recipes and adventures and a just a few current events.

Feel free to email me at danpaulmoe@gmail.com, or just leave a comment. Oh, and if I go a bit without a post, give me a nudge, it'll help.

Welcome...
