You know, I've been at Squeah for about a year and a half...
It's about time I took some time to cook in the Edelweiss kitchen.
This kitchen is designed to cook for 40 people max.
In the past few days, we hosted King David High School, and as a Jewish school, they had to meet the highest kosher expectations. With that in mind, a caterer was brought in, and Jill, Masa and I spent time in Edelweiss cooking for the staff.
At first, I was a bit hesitant, but as time passed, I came to enjoy the time spent in that kitchen. As it was small, it was easy to move around and efficiently laid out, and the meals went out well. It felt good to cook for the staff and do some special menu items that wouldn't work out for a large group.
Overall, it was a great experience.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!
With the fast paced life of Summer behind us at Squeah Kitchen, it's time to transition into a bit of routine and regularity.
A rejuvenating vacation in Nanaimo has helped me to rest and re-focus on the task at hand this fall. With projects on the go including thoughts on a Squeah cook book, personal blog, Pig Gig Cookbook, and further renovations in the kitchen, this fall season will look very busy. All of this on top of catering to the rental groups at Squeah as well as progressing on Jill's apprenticeship...
At times, it seems overwhelming, but I realized one thing in the last days of my vacation: How lucky am I to have a job like this.
As a Chef, it's up to me to grow and learn and conitnue to master my craft. At Squeah, I can do that, with an ever changing menu and room to be creative and open about my passion.
As a Christian, it's about growing in my faith and learning what God has to teach me on a daily basis, while putting myself into an environment where I have the support of other believers around me.
At Squeah, I am surrounded by loving Christ-followers who in their very lifestyle portray a sense of community that feels like a breath of fresh air in this lonely world.
And as a Christian chef, it is my responsibility to seek God's call on my life in utilizing the giftings He has given me to bring glory to him.
My job at Squeah is the fulfillment of that call God has placed on my life.
At this moment, it has become very clear to me that this is exactly where I am supposed to be.
How many people find that in this world today?
Not many. I'm one of the lucky few.
