Spring is here!!!

So as I continue to get ready for the www.ALIVEEXPO.com I am celebrating the fact that the tickets went on sale today! It is going to be a great event. I can't wait for the cook off.. My knees are still knocking at the thought of being on stage but it will be fun. I am working on a lot of recipes. I am so excited that my cousin Rick is coming to help me build my back yard into a classroom. It will be really great. I am so excited! I just found out that he hates curries which is a good thing to know I was going to make Kapsa which is my new Saudi Arabian specialty. I am going make something American. The challenge is finding something that Rayn will eat. Tariq is a little better, but they still love comfort food so that is why I learned Kapsa. I just had a chat with an amazing chef just looking at his creations have my mind spinning. The first person other than me that can read Shakespeare or a cookbook with the same passion. Well I need to start getting that plan together so when Rick gets here he will know what we have to do! I am so excited. I can't wait for next weekend.
