BREAK TIME: Creme Brulee Cheesecake at Firebirds

CHEFS I FOLLOW:

CHEF NASH
Brunei's finest! I am inspired with this vibrant chef's thoughts that I can't get enough! Refreshing insights on latest techniques and his stories is a fresh of breath air (at least to me). He's my unofficial consultant on chef issues I face with this Batali project
DRIFTLESS APPETITE
Husband and wife tandem which gave me great insights on Southwest Wisconsin cuisine, places to see and best of all great tasting, easy to follow meals. Check out their Paella - -so yummy good! This is where I hang out -- when I am bored with Italian cooking
FRANK FARIELLO
Lawyer by day, chef by night! See his passion for authentic Italian cooking! Home cooked food is always the best (and I agree your honor!). He is my unofficial guru that I lean on whenever I have brain freeze from these Mario recipes
Rouxbe Online Cooking School
Great resource for wishful-thinking chef like me with easy to follow procedures. I am still thinking if I should enroll in their class (maybe later after I finished a project at work).
SWEET FREAK
Traveling is one of my passion and so happy to came across with this gorgeous gem who has the same interest as I do - Sweets and Paris (what's not to like?).
WHAT'S COOKIN ITALIAN STYLE CUISINE
Want real italian cooking from a lovely chef who shares great memories from her childhood? I only visit a handful of websites - -and she's definitely top in my list (I'm her daily food stalker - so to speak )!

BREAK TIME: Creme Brulee Cheesecake at Firebirds

I was working like crazy, catching up emails in between meetings and phone calls--whew! Is this me? This is truly a productive day. As always, by 3 pm my head is killing me - - I really need to have a break programmed in my calendar so I can eat! Aggghh - -I never learn. All this food and I only have time for granola bars?

I love date night and we seldom do that nowadays, so I called hubby and ask him to take me to dinner at FIRE BIRDS (relax, I'll pay). I just need a break from my Batali kitchen so even if I am not a big fan of steak,this place is my choice attributed to their signature drink. I always order Merlot for dinner but the combination of vodka and fresh pineapple (preserved for 21 days) served in a martini glass makes me break my wine habit.

I wish I can write like a true food critic - - Unfortunately, I use this blog as my daily diary. Anyway, hubby and I will enter a new chapter in our lives and it's always good to talk about it . At the end of the day ...I know we'll both be happy. Life is too short for me to worry and with this Creme Brulee Cheesecake and my uncooked Batali recipes still waiting for me in the kitchen ....everything will be okay.
