The Food Diva: Sunshine & Summer Squash

I think it's Thursday. Not sure. Still have my suitcase half packed on the futon in the living room. I had a great time in Chicago (that's my next post). The very next day from coming back to Austin, things at work were in full swing. The students are wrapping up the curriculum portion of the culinary program and catering an event on Friday. I have a new assistant I am training. I am doing voice over work for a new instructional cooking video series. I am leading a recipe testing group at the school. And somewhere in this shuffle of culinary madness I edited a demo video and redid my website. Sheseh, I need some white peach sangria. Take a look at the new pics and menus.
