TGIF!!!!

GOING DRINKING!!!! Rough week...met Tom Hanks today though!!!! Have a great weekend! Eat, Drink & be Merry!!!!

Chicken!!!!

I hate the fact that anything anybody ever wants to eat is CHICKEN! Everyone always orders a salad with chicken or add chicken. How about other meats people! Succulent pork is wonderful! Shrimp or crab is always a pleasure!

I miss the days of an elegant Crab Louie Salad or the perfect Waldorf Salad. I feel like I am going to grow feathers! I am going on a no more CHICKEN campaign! I know it's cheap, but let's be more creative!!!

The Band!!!

So when you think of most rock bands, you think sex, drugs, rock & roll! Right?

Not the band I was hanging out with today. They were so tame. Maroon 5 is one of the biggest pop bands in the world. But for some reason I had no idea who they were. Maybe because they're not the stereotypical group you normally think of. Too bad!! I wanted the dirty aspect of the business. Booze & drugs in the green room. The smell of marijuana wafting through out the studio. Instead I got the smell of Axe and chocolate chip cookies. Just another day in the life of Wade!!!

Asian Flare!!!

What is it about Asian food that makes me so giddy with excitement! Is it because all the flavors and spices make my tongue dance. I would have to say that any dish that is from the far east. Is an adventure. Today we made the best Warm Thai Chicken Salad with Mandarin Oranges at the Cafe. YUMMY! I always like to mix it up and serve diverse dishes everyday.

I don't get to feed many refined palates, but everybody loves a taste of Asia!


Picnic Thai Chicken Salad

Wild Greens
1 Cup of Shredded Chicken
1/4 Cup of Mandarin Oranges
1/4 Cup Of Julienne Red Onions
1/8 Cup of Shredded Carrots
1/8 Cup of Diced Scallions
1/2 Cup Of Nappa Cabbage Shredded
1 Cup of Peanut Sauce

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and drizzle in peanut sauce. Toss again & serve. How easy and quick is that!!!!


I like to add a teaspoon of chili sauce! Really sweet & spicy!!!

Snack Pack!

Today is the day when you go back to work after a short weekend. Are you feeling a little hung over? Did you not go out and drink on Saturday? Well...guess what! It's from food. Most of us actually eat more on the weekend then we do during the week. How is that possible you ask? Because we actually sit down and have three meals each day. I rarely have time for breakfast and usually cram something down my throat towards lunch. Most of us do it. But we don't realize how much harm it actually does to our system.

Slow down, have a meal and enjoy it. It's always rush, rush, rush. Try to at least pack a morning snack. Get up and leave your desk for lunch. Prepare something on Sunday for dinner for Monday night. Leftovers are always great! You can take them for lunch on Tuesday. Remember when you were a kid and had a great lunch packed for you? Try doing it yourself. That way you have the energy to make it through to Friday! Or at least to happy hour!!!!


Morning Snack Pack

Banana
Yoghurt
Granola Bar

Everything you need to conquer the Monday blues!!!!

TGIF!!!! The Ultimate Friday Treat

It's FRIDAY!!! Even though I had the day off on Monday, it still feels like a long week. But enough bitchng!!

So it's the weekend and I looked in my fridge and it was bare!!! Only means that it's time to go to the grocery store or go out! I am gonna go out.
For some reason my mother never cooked on a Fridays. We always either went out to eat. Or ordered from our favorite deli. Nothing beats pastrami on rye with spicy mustard.

Today is the day to treat yourself to a nice hardy meal! A cold ale or nice glass of wine. But not both! Visit your local pub or favorite family run restaurant. They are waiting for you and they need the business.

Tonite I am going to the Hudson a cool bar/pub my friend opened. In the neighborhood. It's got a great cheese steak and house made fries that makes your mouth water! And I wash it down with a blonde ale! Wonderful....

Saturdays are my night to cook. I usually like to grill or make a nice bowl of pasta. Keeping it casual and not too fancy! Times are tough! And I refuse to pay more than twenty dollars for a meal right now.

Cheap and Cheerful is the way to go!!! Have a great weekend!! Be a patron at your local eatery!!!

Oscar Update!!!

IT'S OSCAR TIME!!!!!! The best time of the year! It's like Christmas for anyone in the food, event or beverage industry. Your time to shine! Like other "Celebrity" event planners. I too am looking forward to this glorious day! I am just waiting for that V.I.P call to plan and executive one of the high profile parties in Hollywood.

I don't mean to seem like I am on my high horse, but I know how to throw a pretty awesome party.


Stay tuned for more details!
