Updating The Experimental Gourmand

Moving on from the old (right) to the new (left) 

Long time readers of this website might have wondered what is going on, as the format and design seem to have gone a bit retro recently.  Tech things, is the short answer.  Much like the suitcases, in the photo above, my trusty website that I build years ago, has frays and cracks and basically crashed due to incompatibility with newer systems.  So, like the suitcase on the left, I decided to move on to something similar, but sleeker.  Fortunately, I'm able to build on a really old Blogger site that I used to have, which was still active but out of date.  I also set up a GoFundMe to help me out financially, after my job was eliminated due to the company being bought by a private equity firm.

Yes, these came from a random cabinet in my parents' house

You can follow me on my social media streams: Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.  You can catch up with me there and see my adventures in my new home of Northern Virginia, where I grew up.  I'm clearing out my parents' house and discovering that my mother Never Threw Anything Away (see above photo).  I mean, this is also nice, as I'm getting to use vintage PYREX bowls, which were either a wedding gift or she bought them using Green Stamps (IYKYK) - see below.
 
Does Tuna Salad taste better in a vintage pink PYREX bowl?
 
On top of that, I'm also job searching, looking for my Next Great Opportunity.  Could this be working with YOU?  Please pass along leads for Cookbook Writing and Testing, Menu Development, Catering Menu Creation, Recipe Writing and R&D, and Culinary Operations Management roles.  Contact me via the form at the right hand side of this page.  In addition, you can look at my About Me and Work With Me pages to read about my expertise and previous client and corporate work. 
 
 

Buon appetito!
