I am an executive chef and I am always interested in foods and ideas.
Recently I sustained a bad injury and will have to retrain, so first I
have to learn how to use a newsgroup, and what other way to do that
but hands-on!!!!!. Maybe I will write a book some day

Yes. All the best chefs started out as newsgroup trolls.

And then there's me. I am happy. I told the people at work that I
wouldn't be a stranger. I've been back once, in over a year and a half.

I spent 25 years there.

Heyy, cybercat, this is fun. I will tell u more, I was a very
active chef, at a lovely resort and banquet facility, I suppose my
specialty was wedding catering. It was not as inventive as most
banquets and buffets because the bridal party ordered what they wanted
for the menu. However salads and deserts were left open. I had a
lovely pastry chef working for me and i left all of the desert tables
up to her and she made them great. My specialty was timing and
serving the dishes hot and salads fresh. " I suppose my most
successful dish is a chicken dish that I invented" I will share my
secret some day, but it is a long story that goes with it.

Hiiii, thanks for the comments. actually no, i am not going to be
a professional newsgroup poster lol, but it sounds like a lot of
fun...... I am going to be a computerized accountant. Part of
becomming a computerized accountant is .................knowing what a
newsgroup is lol. so now i know what one is.
