Cutting Boards

My friend Jon told me a while back, that cutting boards are the new stocked bookshelf. They speak to a person's passion about enjoying food and life. I thought the comment was quite sweet as I have an addiction to those beautiful, useful boards. They act as serving trays, plates, prep areas and are just beautiful to look at, to me that is.

It's been so very long since I have posted and Mum wants to see some content, so what Mum wants she gets :) So, here goes...let's start simple. Today I am thinking of burgers, I only eat them a few times a year, but I do love them. One of the things I link these juicy treats to are road movies, road trips, road adventures...whatever you want to call them. Toping my list is Weber's in Ontario, a pit stop on the way to cottage country. From my home country to my adopted Scandinavia, Phil's halloumi burger is the only burger I have ever ordered two to be consumed in one sitting and don't regret that decision in the least.  In the US of A both Shake Shack and In-n-Out are tied for my affection. Soon I hope to be able to enjoy is an In-n-Out whilst on the west coast, we shall see...fingers crossed!

Of course dancing atop a flaming bar that was being 'aged' made the play in the process quite enjoyable. Playing in a medium I was not experienced in, was one of the most fun projects I have worked on to date.
