I keep getting asked if I am a baker or a chef or a pastry chef. No, I am not. I have no formal training whatsoever. It makes me nervous when I see blogs like friend of a friend Brandi's (I made That!) blog. She makes amazing looking and sounding food. All. From. Scratch. And I think she even grows a lot of it herself too. There's just a lot of attention around good, well made food these days, especially here in Portland, in case you haven't noticed. So, I start to wonder what kind of business I have in making mini pies. Because I really have no idea what I'm doing. I mean who do I think I am?
But! What I do know is that I grew up in a restaurant and have worked in food service for longer than I care to remember. And, while I'm no professional, I also know that I love comfort and comfort food and snacks and making quirky/cute/creative things and seeing people eat delicious tiny pies.
I guess, when it comes down to it, I'm not in it to make gourmet food or be a star food cart chef. I would never even try to compete with the incredible food artists in this town. I'm just in it to make a few (or several) people happy. I hope that's enough.
till soon lovelies.

ps. Dharma, if you're reading this, I totally stole your sign off phrase. Hope that's cool with you! :)
