Cooking class

Went to ole Mexican grill( http://www.olegrill.com/ ) for a cooking class tonight. You figure hey mexican food... the chef must be from mexico. Umm... no, hes from the Philippines. Go figure right? We were talking to his wife about how they are the only Filipinos we have met out here, she agreed that it is just too cold out there for them and that they only knew one other filipino and she was working in the resturant.

Anyway it was a great time had by all. I would have had photos, but I was having too much fun to pull out my camera. The chef showed us different kinds of salsas, moleas, and such... I think there is going to be another class in may. I may even take they day off to go again if its not on a wedesday.

Shrimp its whats for dinner?

Where do you get your shrip from? Where does that supplyer get his? I know the ship my store sells come from thailand... no idea if the same plants are used for the shrimp we sell.


Workers in Southeast Asia's shrimp industry suffer
regular abuse and sometimes live in what amounts to virtual slavery, a
human-rights organization said Wednesday.

The Solidarity Center report
says the global shrimp industry is worth about $13 billion
annually.

Sexual and physical abuse, debt bondage, child labor and unsafe
working conditions are common in Thailand and Bangladesh's shrimp processing
factories, the Solidarity Center said in a 40-page report.
