Thanks for the welcomes guys.

Rhino, I may not have attended cooking school yetbutI've been on the restaraunt business for twelve years(I'm 27) starting out as a dishwasher and moving up to prep cook and line cook at various restaraunts.
I want to go to culinary school because I enjoy cooking, I want to learn more than what I know and I want to cook more variety of items. The people here are very firm in their eating habits, meat, potatoes, and fried food. No fish unless fried, vegetables are what food eats, ,unwilling to try other countries style of cuisine, etc. I like variety which is sadly lacking here. As for Haggis, the vegetarian recipe looks really good.

Doc, I agree about the tourists but they are the lifeblood of Cloudcroft. Why go to the exspense of traveling if all you want is what you have at home?

As for pictures, I don't have any of me in my kilts, there are photos floating around somewhere, I should get my friend at the local paper to take some of me sometime.
