Looking to brew some Beer, how about beer from the White House?

If you were ever interested in brewing beer, why not start with beer that is made at the White House. The President seems to approve.

 

Gypsy Picnic


I am huge fan of food trucks and this Saturday October 22, 2011 (11am to 8pm) in Austin, Texas there is be a food truck festival, called the Gypsy Picnic. Over 40 food trucks and food trailers will be there and of course live music (it wouldn't be Austin without music). If you are in the area and you love good food, bring your family to check this out! I live in the D.C. area and just found out about this today from a friend who lives in Austin. I wish I could fly down right now so I can check out the festival for myself. It looks like fun! I will have to plan next year.


My earned ACF Medals

The first few times winning ACF medals was a amazing experience, I encourage everyone who is in the culinary world to compete. I have learned so much from competitions and try to improve each time I compete. It is nice to win a gold medal but I have to say winning gold isn't everything. It is what you get out of it that's important. If you don't learn from your wins or mistakes then whats the point of competing? I have entered in over 20 events. Didn't win all gold, mostly silvers. But I did have fun and when I did win a gold I was pretty excited. I will be out there again trying my best and if I don't win no big lose, I am just happy to be there and experience the excitement. Hope to see you there and good luck if you decide to compete in a culinary event.
