kitchen Angst!

Mr. Derek John Aidan Handley, is turning a year older today! I want to wish Him all the best on this day and dedicate my blog to Him. It is because of Derek I even have this outlet. He started His first blog “Rolling Traveler” on On July 21, 2008, and Retro Review went on line September 1, 2008. Derek suggested I start one myself shortly there after, so I did.

He is an English teacher, and is certified to teach “creative Writing” on a collage level! I on the other hand, am a chef, Who got his GED instead of following through with high school. Only to attend New England Culinary Institute, back in 1990-92.
It was the confidence Derek Had in me, and my “story telling abilities”, that led me to start this venture! I was scared ( I can’t type, or spell ) but through his faith, I have grown. I have now come to love love it , even though I am still no English major or writer. He has supported me through the entire process ( I will always be in His debt ) . Even to the point of proofreading them ( in the beginning ) and sending e-mails with the corrections needed.

Derek, I love you, and wish You all the happiness in the world!
You have enriched my my life in a way I can never repay! You are an amazing person, Everyone who comes in contact with You, says the same thing… “He is special”! You are a special man! I will always be honored and proud to call You My friend!

I’m thinking of you, and wish you All the Best, on this Special day!

I can’t tell you how much you mean to me!!!

Thank You for everything!

Now this ones for you, bud.

I wish I were there to cook you…

Apfelphannkuchen: for breakfast!!!!!

I’m so sorry I tried all week to embed one of these videos without success, as you can see! It worked for me before, I don’t know what I did differently?

Always,

Your Friend
