I am not a professional chef, trained cook, sous chef, hash slinger or bottle washer.......I just like to cook and apparently "eat", but more importantly, I find that food with family and friends simply gives me great comfort.
Fortunately, I build some of the finest restaurants in LA for some very impressive owner's and chef's and I am a little bit privy to some of the trade secrets of the great kitchens, but mostly my recipes are just trial and error.
Fresh Seafood for Paella
Every effort is made to not poison my friends, neighbors and family, therefore, before I serve my specialties to my loved ones, I cook it 3 times (different times).
I find that a perfect Saturday is creating the recipe in the morning on paper, spending the day shopping for the groceries and the evening, cooking it. A very perfect Saturday.
I don't always use exact measurements, however I do add my own "Little Some'n Some'n" to my dishes and will show you those "LSS" ideas at each recipe. Be creative with your own "LSS" too.
And lastly, I am blessed that so many of my friends are great cooks, so hopefully they will share their skills and recipes in this blog, as I am sure you will enjoy the Italian cuisine, the Mexican fares, the breads, the slow cooking one pot meals, as much as I enjoy eating them.

Spanish Paella
I am looking forward to sharing and learning anything about food and hopefully this blog will be worth the read with my "mess of friends".
