Currently reading…

…BTW I skipped reading the last one I previously mentioned: ‘Landscapes’ by Kevin J. Anderson… (maybe some other time) So moving on, I just finished reading Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential – Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly and did I ever enjoy this one, highly entertaining (hilarious) and addicting! Bourdain’s account of a day in a life of a chef is quite a tour de force. I being often on the road and eating in lots of restaurants made me appreciate the informative explanation of what to look for when choosing a good place to eat (So much for the Sunday Brunch!). Alcohol, drugs, sex, and horrible stories all exposing the restaurant kitchen business the way he has lived it and seen it will keep you quite interested if you are into ‘cuisine’ or ‘culinary adventures’… Next in line, which I already started is The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music from one of my favorites bassists: Victor Wooten. Seems that this is not a book about music theory or how to play the bass but wonderful and playful revelation about the relationship between Music and your life. Keep you posted

  1. I can relate to an excerpt from the book you are currently reading Kitchen Confidential about remembering the first time I ate oysters and comparing it with loosing my virginity only more fondly.

    That made me laugh because to this day I still proudly talk about attending an oyster party for the first time and eating 1/2 a dozen raw oysters with Tabasco sauce and lemon juice. Also having Rockefeller oysters. But never have I talked about the time I lost my virginity.

    HaHaHA!!!

    Hope your feeling better.
