Garde Manger

What is a Garde Manger I was asked today. A little piece of trivia that someone was sure I would no teh answer to. Sadly they were wrong and I had no idea- however I know now, according to this culinary site a Garde Manger is someone "who creates salads; hot and cold appetizers; sandwiches; garnishes; and table decorations." I was so excited by this- this is exactly my dream job. Especially the salad creation part, and the garnishes I guess. How commmon are these jobs really? Maybe Culinary School is for me after all. I mean check out my mouse- if this isn't some serious garnishing skills I don't know what is :-)

Holy Crap,
Call Orkin, there are mice in the house. Hey all kidding aside, maybe you found a new vocation. Did you eat the little bastard?
Cheers

eeeee. Bless em. My favourite thing in the world is those 'play with your food' piccies so you made my day!!

On a different note, I love your blog but sometimes you review places and dont really give an inkling as to where they are. A region of SD would be good at least if you dont have the address!! Ta!
