I spent some time with my family and enjoyed the rare occasion that my schedule matches up with the rest of the world. I also got to be a small part of a meal put together by some very talented friends/chefs for a our SO's and a few coworkers. I feel like philly's chef community is more incestuous and everyone knows each other better. So...

it is 4am and what is between me and sleep is you, I hate when we fight like this. We were just fine 5 minutes ago and suddenly there's a problem. I don't understand why you have to be so specific and rigid. I spend hours online looking for less stressful ways to deal with the sense of entitlement you have, if you aren't included...

I'm not against a holiday devoted to being thankful for what we have. What I don't like is that I'm a chef and this is THE food holiday.

classy, smart and pale. If a woman possess all three attributes I'm done for. I like boobs, butts and light eyes too. But If a woman is csp, she can have none of the previous attributes and be hot. Curves are sexy as is personality, but for me intelligence is the defining factor of whether or not a woman is hot. That Victorian upper class...

My G.F. of 4 years and I are taking a bit of a break, still committed, just not spending most of our time together. We're both dealing with a lot of stress from work (as I posted last night) and realized that it was affecting the relationship so a break was agreed upon. I would have time to work on my menus, recipes, staffing.... and...

Opened a new account yesterday after a 4 year break so I guess I'm back, though I didn't really use the site that much before. I think the last time I was on SG I was kicking H in NW Indiana. So 86 Philly, I've been in San Diego for almost 5 years and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. The weather...
