heheh... Dave, you have no idea, but I was thinking about making a Cuisine board for tips and recipe exchanges... Don't tempt me, as I really want to make one I just love cooking and good food... that's why I am routinely 30 lbs over my ideal weight :P hehe Off to play some squash, or is that cook some squash ?

Hi Heather

I was going to enroll in Culinary School this year as a career change, but decided it was more of an expense than I could handle. I have looked at a ton of programs, but haven't found the right one yet. My wife is finishing her bachelors/masters, and then I will be figuring out what I am going to do. Should make for a pretty interesting mid-life crisis.

I've seen students in the Culinary and Apprenticeship courses that range in age from 18 to 56 yrs of age. Makes for an interesting class dynamic!

Neo, where were you looking to go? I am always interested to hear about other colleges.

I was invested very heavy emotionally in the Le Cordon Bleu program at Scottsdale Culinary Institute. I was thinking of going for my Bachelors, but the cost was unbearable even with financial aid. Then I started looking at the associates program at The Art Institute of Phoenix and the certificate program at the Culinary Academy of Phoenix. But by then I was resigned to wait another year before I enrolled to make sure it was something I truly wanted. I have also looked at baking and pastry programs all over the U.S.

We should perhaps put a link in the glossary to this thread... Dave do we have a definition for ""THREAD HIJACKING" yet ???

It's not my fault the thread was hijacked. I mentioned food, and the people cried out.



Ok, so maybe it is my fault.

The Cuisine Board here we come......

Come on Marty it's just a little grub talk, no need to get your Spätzle in a knot! Don't curdle your Crème anglaise!

Sorry, no Thread Hijack....but I did add Peloric and Stoma today! Just have to tidy them up and then release then to the adoring public.

Food is so wonderful and easy to talk about. Wait a minute, I bet that's what
Connoisseur's Corner is for....duh!
