Turkey and tears

I'm standing here at walmart at 11:45 pm in brenham Texas on thanksgiving thinking of the days past events and tying to put them all in order in my head. About the same time my brother Caleb was embracing my little ten week old for the first time my maw-maw was embracing her lord and savior for the first time. Crazy really, the way it is. Enjoy your reward maw-maw, I'll see you someday! I promise!

Happy chef!

This time of year always confirms and renews my love for my chosen profession. The smells, the sounds, the beautiful roasted bird and of course a day set aside just for eating makes me fall in love again with cooking. So fire up those ovens and let's get to cooking! For me...there is no place I would rather be than beside my mom as her sous chef. She is the chef that inspires me. Happy thanksgiving.

Time to eat!

You can almost smell the turkey roasting in the oven right now so before we starting feasting away I just wanted to say how thankful I am for all the wonderful things and people in my life. I could mention them all for days but most of all I am very thankful for my wife Cindy and my little booger beth. Heres to all you out there. Enjoy every minute, drink in every second, and have a very happy thanksgiving. I love you all! Brad
