Today, will be our date day with brunch with friends, a movie/documentary at the Enzian, more food and drink somewhere and then, we begin our challenge tomorrow. We are looking forward to this one and will post healthy recipes using fresh and sometime local ingredients daily.
The day began with a relaxing brunch with good friends at The Vineyard Wine Company followed by the documentary SOMM at The Enzian Theater. The documentary inspired laughter, admiration, and even sadness from the audience. As I reflected on the movie, I started entertaining the idea of pursing the Certified Master Chef (CMC) certification of the American Culinary Federation. This is a grueling 8 day test and there are fewer than 70 CMC's in the USA! Jenneffer and I will have a long and serious chat because to attempt it is to give an incredible amount of oneself and this has the potential of putting a tremendous amount of pressure on one's relationships. I don't know. Right now, its just a thought, albeit, a serious one.
We finished the evening by indulging in more wonderful wine at The Wine Room followed by a nice dinner at Luma on Park.
We returned home knowing that tomorrow would begin a six-day challenge that would be hopefully be trans-formative as well as offer some value to those of you who follow us.
