The Atomic Mess

I am a classically trained and accredited chef with a fine dining background, who is into international and vegetarian cuisine. This is my food blog.

Came down with a brutal chest cold so I scuttled off to the grocery store and picked up ingredients for my cure-all: lemon chicken soup. Most of the time I make it with noodles and potatoes (has to be both) but this time I tried a simple dumpling recipe and it came out great.

Also adding to the comfort is the Sanrio Chococat bowl. A vessel I have much love for.

Ripe white peach and fresh lime margaritas and poached white shrimp w/avocado, tomato, cucumber, cilantro and lime mignonette and mixed greens.

I got fired today. They told me I couldn't cook so I came home and made this.

I have many personal experiences that I plan to share on this subject, but for right now, let this be a place marker. And if you don't buy into the concept from the article alone, I invite you to read the comments, for they are full of men who think male privilege doesn't exist. My favorite comment comes from a guy in high school. He certainly knows best (and I'm obvs being facetious.) PS To leave Alice Waters off that list is a fucking CRIME against food and women.
