Watching my daughter teach

20120928-162648.jpg
Our family enjoys doing many things and “teaching” is something we all do.

With this in mind, and with my daughter’s upcoming birthday , I wanted to see her classes. I will leave her formal evaluation to others… But I did enjoy seeing some almost hereditary mannerisms that seemingly came from times she sat in her mother’s or my classes.

At West Point, the students are very focused but I did see some unusually high motivation… If it were me, I would use the word “fear.” I know that look … I have experienced it myself as a younger man in a fast paced class.

Kristin reminds me much of her mother… Someone who can look into your soul and know you are unprepared. I am proud that Kristin is standing and delivering a great educational experience… But I am glad there is no test tomorrow… At least for me.

Jenny Craig and high fructose corn syrup

I have found 2 products — so far — in Jenny Craig that contain High Fructose Corn Syrup… A definite bozo no no. If you don’t know anything about it look it up and try avoid the big corn spin doctors.

In any event, I would think the Nestlé’ would know better by now!

I found it in my Ranch dressing and my barbecue sauce! Where else is it??

Graham Elliot in Chicago was superb #grahamelliot

Needless to say, an experience to savor and remember!
It goes without saving that the presentation and service was incomparable.

A tour of the kitchen and a lively discussion with the Executive Chef made the visit to Graham Elliot complete!

I chose a multi course with a wine pairing. An interesting choice from Tasmania and traditional French and Italian complimented wonderfully.
