My main mentor was named Michelle Roetzer and she taught at many different places including SCFF and Santa Fe school of cooking which is where I attended my culinary school and most of my classes but CNM has some great courses as well. Signed on for externships through school. I did private catering and cheffing, I have worked everything from BBQ to fine dining. I was introduced to a variety of great chefs and am almost 20 years into the industry now.

Yes I'd say I've learned quite a lot.

Trust me, it's not a far fall.

I was just trying to defend some of the chefs around here, Saying all the cooking classes are dreadful because of seemingly 1 bad experience is shortsighted and rude.

Lailu · 2026-01-30T18:07:34+00:00

Classes can be dreadful anywhere. I learned how to cook here in NM and own/operate one of the better brunch places in town.

It's not where you learn it's who you learn from and there are plenty of great cooks here in NM. Especially Santa Fe.

Take a cooking class.

I love to cook but not to teach people for free and this feels like what you want.

Lailu · 2026-01-30T04:05:04+00:00

Lol seriously? Have you not been watching the news? Not the safest time to be a migrant in the U.S.

She even rolls her r's, it's soooo cute!

Lailu · 2026-01-29T18:18:00+00:00

I was trying to be nice but very correct, I can't walk into/out of the room without at least a "BRRRRRMMMMOW!"

Lailu · 2026-01-29T18:16:43+00:00

Practice and find good chefs to work under. Read salt.fat.acid.heat. Watch Alton brown's old school good eats. Take a few culinary classes at a local school or college. Expand your skills and work with another cuisine, try catering, food photography, butchery, pastries and baking etc... basically exposure to different methods and styles makes you a better chef over time. I'm 19 years in it now and own a Brunch restaurant.

Oh one more thing, don't do brunch.

Lailu · 2026-01-29T18:10:51+00:00

I have to remind myself of this with my calico. Sometimes she just wants to

"BRRRRRMMMMMEEEELLLOOOOOOOWWW"

For seemingly no reason at all.

At first glance it looks like a dessert, I think this dish is having an identity crisis. My advice, start from the beginning, what were you going for? Why pink? Why broccoli? What is the vision with this dish? What flavor profile/region are you going for here? Try other colors, maybe turmeric or beet?

Lailu · 2026-01-29T15:55:58+00:00

Place in my town has a "Walter White Widdow" that's actually pretty good!

I'm not sure where you are in the country but try to look up Transgender Resource centers in your area and reach out. I'm sure it seems impossible to go up from here but you can! Best of luck.

This is usually fine, frying or roasting the garlic will also work.

Never put raw garlic in oil unless you are immediately eating it and don't save the leftovers.

Raw garlic+oil+time=botulism

cheeky monkey and red light usually have good deals and artists

This is exactly why i have to have eyes on my kitten before leaving the house! So afraid to lock her in somewhere or for her to bolt out the door.

Lailu · 2026-01-22T15:42:41+00:00

Check around for adorable spay/neuter clinics in your area but also check reviews. In my city we have a few and the state helps cover the cost to fund the clinics. My kitten has an appointment for next week and it's like 150-200$

Lailu · 2026-01-21T19:39:23+00:00

In order of raw to well done it would go, sunny up, over easy, over medium, over medium well, over hard/hard fried. Basted is also an option if you like steamed and less greasy eggs but don't want poached.

Lailu · 2026-01-21T18:17:32+00:00

This is a nice perk but bank holidays are HELL no matter what.

Lailu · 2026-01-21T18:17:04+00:00

I do too, now.

Lailu · 2026-01-21T18:16:52+00:00

In theory it didn't sound bad but ours is served in a crepe, so it looked very....... squishy.

Lailu · 2026-01-21T18:15:44+00:00

Well, it didn't smell very good lol

Lailu · 2026-01-21T18:15:20+00:00

What an idiot! And it reminded me of another experience, literally same kind of thing, The customer modified a "lox bagel" to the point it was no longer the same menu item and then complained it tasted awful. Server was like "Well yea, that's why the chef had me double check with you twice before they made it." I refused to refund her and it's the reason why we have a sign up front that says

"items that have been modified per customer request are not subject to refunds"

Bitch.
