So! I have begun a new culinary journey! I moved to Ventura with my sweet husband and took a job as the kitchen manager/pastry chef in a New Orleans style coffee/ bakery/ bistro called Rabalais' soon to open in Santa Paula. For those who are not familiar with those areas they are beautiful and mountainous. One of them is kissing the ocean and the other is caressed by endless orchards and fields of plentiful growing. I have been a busy bee testing recipes, making inventory lists and order guides, and doing various amounts of new business stuff. Not to mention, running to the beach, walking to the farmers market, and drinking coffee in the mornings. All in all...my line of work makes me a very lucky girl!
Love it! I can't wait to see all of this wonderfulness first-hand.
