well, i had such great plans to make my blog look a little nicer.  and to update it, for that matter.  but the past few months have been quite busy, with a sudden move to oklahoma city, a roadtrip, and a BUNCH of work, all of which will be explained in the next few paragraphs.

at the very end of august i left fort worth (and my boyfriend, my job, my friends, my house…) and moved to oklahoma city where i  started as the pastry chef for 105degrees, matthew kenney’s newest restaurant.  i originally found out about it in july when reading another blog that mentioned the academy, which is part also of the project.  i had NO idea how much work goes into opening a restaurant.  i mean, of course i knew it would be a lot of work, but really, i was still surprised.  but, things have calmed down a bit now that we’re into the groove of things and i’m having a lot of fun trying new things and working with such great food every day.

this is one of the plates at the restaurant; it’s the passion fruit parfait, layered with a passion fruit creme and pineapple ice cream, and topped with a gingery granola.  despite the poor picture, it’s really lovely, and delicious, too.

and here’s a picture of the smallest corner of my new apartment (from the one day in the past week when it was actually sunny).  this is the only corner that is unpacked, but hopefully that will change in the next couple of weeks.

sorry it’s so short, but i’ll write again soon with more info and more about my favorite thing to think and talk about: food!
