Chef Emil's 
As a fellow foodie, I love looking at all your creations and trying them out. Love your creativity….
Cindi, thank you so much for you comment. It is people like you that make this worthwhile.
Offenbach’s Can Can was playing on the radio when I opened my front door this morning and discovered The Flying Monkey’s had left me a parcel. I literally can-canned around the house in my ruby slippers. with excitement. This is a celebration of generous sharing. HOW WONDERFUL. I have the ingredients to make Chef Emil magic in the kitchen. It is an embarrassment of riches.
Thank you Chef Emil for adding such joy to my day – and happiness to my life. V.
thanks chef for stopping by my blog and also posting a comment ! I am new to blogging. You have some great collection of recipes here. My wife also has a blog on recipes, i will recommend her to follow your blog. She is on blogger.com http://myrecipiesmyexperience.blogspot.com/. Cheers/ Regards/Amit
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. Saw that you too are a retired hospital administrator… how inspirational you are and how timely is/was your virtual visit. I’m looking at the different recipes now and am missing Central Market VERY much (our home-sweet-home is spitting distance from CM although our current home is in Germany for the time being). I’ll have to adjust as needed for both ingredients as well as the tastebuds of my 3 yr old but I”m excited to try a lot of your recipes! Hope you don’t mind if I might ask about ingredient subs in the future?
Greetings Melody! I am also The-Tin-Man.com as in Tales and Travels of The Tin Man : Lessons We Have Learned Since Oz. I sometimes forget who I am logged in as so you may see me as either persona when I visit you blog! I am so glad you enjoy my recipe blog and that it keeps you connected to the U.S. Of course, anytime you would like to ask about substitutions, please do. I am very German – Emil Bruno Friesenhahn and love the Fatherland. I hope you are enjoying your stay there! So nice to have this technology to stay connected and meet people. Hope you enjoy more of these recipes!
Germany was one of my favorite places. I loved living there as a child and visiting as an adult. The food was fantastic and the people were just a joy!
I thought it would be some (or one) Texan….I think H.E.B. products gave it away! 😉 I’ve tried to follow, but keep getting error messages 😦 Hope it doesn’t last long as I’d love to keep in the know! 🙂
Nevermind, I’m following now! 😉
So tell me something Chef Emil…..I’ve called every H.E.B. in my area looking for something…. Golden Carrots… Have you seen them? Any ideas where I can get them (Houston area)?
I shall research this for you and let you know. I grow my own so have never shopped for them.
I will forever be indebted to you Chef. I called myself researching it….Maybe I should check around with some networking to see if anyone (local farmers) grows them??
Thank you again!
Bree 🙂
By the way, I almost forgot….Chef Jane said to tell you “Hello.” 🙂 Saw her today cookin’ up some good H.E.B. stuff….
Well you tell Jane “HI” back for me. We never get to see each other, unless it is in Italy!
Will do! Aww, that’s not good…But it is a good place to “connect!” 🙂
Congratulations! I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award! Please go here to read about this award! Thank you!
Bree 🙂
You’re in Boerne, Tx?
Yes, at the H-E-B in Boerne, Texas!
I haven’t been to Boerne in years but I remember I liked it. : )
If you are ever coming by again, let me know so we can greet you!
Would love that. I certainly will.
Chef Emil I am in culinary school now at St Phillips College. I am doing the culinary degree but am thinking about switching over to pastry arts. Do you think I should have a double major to be more competitive in the job market?
My advice is to acquire as many credentials as possible while you are in the mode. I have two undergraduate degrees and two master’s degrees and everyone of them opens ten more doors. So the answer is YES, even if it takes more time, do it. You will never regret having those extra credentials…………EVER.
I have a recipe that I want to pass along to you. I use shrimp, Agave Dijon Glaze and ready-rice to make a Cajun shrimp dish that’s fast, easy and delicious.
