Better lucky than good

We’ve all heard the saying better to be lucky than good, and it’s absolutely true. I’m extremely lucky to have my own chef, Norah Grace. We had very nice weather last night so Chef Norah Grace decide to cook up some chicken and jalapeño corn bread for diner. Here are a few photos of her efforts.

She wanted to show off the products she was using, so she took this photo. Got to love her, she tells everyone these are her sponsors.

Just before she pulled them off the grill.

She did a great job, best chicken I’ve ever had.

    Very nice. I know this is a post about your talented chef, but what about you? How is the recovery coming along and the back holding up?

    Echoing both the above comments as they are on the mark. Hopefully the recovery continues and while the improvement slope may not be as steep as you would like as long as it is positive...

    @epcotisbest and @lousubcap I will be having what I hope is my last surgery in the next 4-6weeks. This will be my final ALIF procedure. It’s a fusion of the front and back with a disk replacement as well. These days I just watch her cook on the grills. Every once in a while I cook inside as long as someone get everything out for me

    She’s been a good sport about having to back out of a few EggFest and comps, telling me there’s always next year. I can tell she’s upset about the Ohio EggFest, as this is a gigantic event that raised tons of money for cancer research.

    If I can swing it next week, my wife and I want to drive her over to Dizzy Pig for the day to shop and to just to get a chance to see it. She loves Chris and Autumn who she’s communicated with, and wants to get to meet them in person.

    Wish I had a personal chef! Especially one who cooks chicken that looks that good!

    If you're driving all the way to Manassas, why not wait a week or so (May 4) and go to DizzyFest?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    LOL, I sometimes forget that other people have jobs and school and such. Pretty inconvenient if you ask me. 🙂
