the last six months i have dedicated myself to learning the basics of culinary artistry. today was my last day of class. almost two weeks ago i began working at "indish." it's an indian fusion restaurant here in portland. once i've clocked 360 hours of work at indish i will have fulfilled the requirements of my externship and will officially graduate from oregon culinary institute. it's a pretty big deal for me. this is why kristy and i came out here. and i've really just begun to realize the gravity of it all. <br /><br />today has been a pretty great day. all of my class (thirty-some odd students) came in at the same time and made ourselves a feast. we ate as a family, speeches were made by chef instructors, awards and scholarships were given (you are reading the blog of one such award winner), and afterwards friends gathered at the bar down the street to toast to our achievements, life, and the unfortunate loss of one of our classmates...<br /><br />i'm truly grateful god has given me something to work at, and the strength to- not just finish- but do the job well. i know it was only six months of my life, but i put a lot of myself into it, and it feels good to see a goal achieved, right? thank you everyone for your prayers, thoughts and support.<br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"

are the rules.<br /><br />1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.<br />2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.<br />3. Post them here for everyone to guess.<br />4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.<br />5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions<br /><br />1.<br /> -I think she said "feck." <br />-What's the difference? <br />-The letter "u." <br /><br />2.<br />-Sing Sing? <br />-Yes. I always thought it was a ridiculous name for a prison. Sing Sing, I mean. Sounds more like it should be an opera house or something.<br /><br />3. <br />-sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.<br /><br />4.<br />-If you're not over here in fifteen minutes, you can find a new best friend.<br /><br />5.<br />-Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket.<br /><br />6.<br />-I've always been considered an asshole for about as long as I can remember. That's just my style. But I'd really feel blue if I didn't think you were going to forgive me.<br /><br />7.<br />-The first and most important rule of gun-running is: Never get shot with your own merchandise.<br /><br />8.<br />-Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I talk. Everyone has a talent.<br /><br />9.<br />- Yeah, No. That's a piece of crap. We stopped selling that six months ago. It's a nice gesture, though, i think.<br /><br />10.<br />-No, no. It's not schizophrenia. It's just a voice in my head. I mean, the voice isn't telling me to do anything. It's telling me what I've already done... accurately, and with a better vocabulary.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

rainy season has arrived in portland. according to the weather almanac, we've had measurable rain all but one day this month. i love the rain, so i don't mind--for the most part. it gets hard to convince myself to commute via bicycle when the rain is falling. just after my ride home from work tonight i read this excerpt from the blog of <a href="http://iraryanbicycles.wordpress.com/">ira ryan bicycles</a>, a portland bike builder, and it's was just the encouragement i needed.<br /><br /><blockquote>"this is the time of year for the die hard commuters and also the season of the training racer. when you pass another cyclist in a downpour there is an understanding of epic that fairweather riders just don’t get. it is nice to get this even on the short 30 minute commutes to the shop with the rain coming at you sideways. i always have to remind myself that it could be worst. 18 degrees and icy. once i get to work, i don’t mind being there for long hours waiting for my clothes to dry."</blockquote><br /><br />speaking of "waiting for my clothes to dry," i made the mistake of walking to work in the rain a few days ago wearing my backpack (that i just learned is not waterproof) and got my school notebooks, and everything else inside, pretty wet. i spent my shift working in soggy socks (shoes weren't waterproof either... oops). oh well, chock it up to experience, right? i'm learning all kinds of valuable things here in oregon, ha. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

am officially finished with CUL 130. tomorrow: day one of CUL 140. that puts me at the halfway mark as far as the class portion of the culinary program. after that it's on to my externship (something like 400 work hours), and then four months of the baking and pastry program. it seems like a long road when i write it all out, but for now i feel a sense of accomplishment.<br /><br />kristy and i finished up our "new-comers home group" last weekend. this sunday we have a prayer gathering, but after that we're looking to find a new home group to be a part of. we're really enjoying evergreen. they are a community of community, which is really great. however, we still miss you all at wheatland... everyday.<br /><br />speaking of missing home, we have two sets of visitors coming to see us for the first time since we moved. my mom and dad are coming the last week of december, and mom and dad-in-law are coming the following week. we're pretty excited. by the way, if any of you get an itch to get the heck out of dodge feel free to come see us. we have a tiny apartment, but a great couch, and word on the street is there may be a luxurious air mattress making it's home with us in the near future. we'd love to come home and visit you all, but that's not really feasible for us right now. the next time we'll be back home is in april to celebrate brian and jessica's wedding (kristy's brother).<br /><br />we're less than a week from election day. oregon does all their voting by mail. i dropped off our ballots at the drop location today. <br />in the spirit of the election, here's a gem to cherish:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

morning was a beautiful autumn morning.<br />the sky was completely overcast. there was a fog weaving in and out of the trees, especially in the south hills that are quite visible from outside our apartment.<br />there were drops of moisture in the air; not quite a drizzle, mostly just moisture from the fog. <br />the temperature was a balmy forty-something.<br /><br />days like today remind me of the beauty of God's creation and make me forget, if only for the moment, the stresses of life, and though these kinds of days may not be everyone's cup of tea, in my opinion, they are perfect for a hot cup of tea.<br /><br /><br />also pairs well with autumn:<br />knitting (a green scarf)<br />listening to records (especially thelonious monk's "monk's dream")<br />blankets<br />and baking:<br

week from tonight kristy and i will make our first trek home to wichita since we moved. it's only been a little more than a month since we left, but so much has happened. hope we get to catch up with you when we get home! until then we'll be consumed with work, my last week of my first class at oregon culinary (including a final), and vigorous preparation for our trip home. the purpose for our trip is to celebrate with friends and family in the marriage of one of my closest friends, ryan, and his soon-to-be-wife lindsey, but we are way excited to see the rest of you as well. wheatland, we plan to be at the gathering saturday night. jim, we plan to celebrate you getting old. <br /><br />see you soon wichita!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

falling into a bit of a routine here in portland, <div>which is neither absolutely good or absolutely bad. </div><div>if i were to break down a typical weekday it would look something like this:</div><div><br /></div><div>awake, prepare for the day.</div><div>catch the streetcar to school (with kristy- we leave at the same time and travel the same route).</div><div>school, school, school (i figured out that this constitutes about 25% of my day).</div><div>catch streetcar to work.</div><div>work, work.</div><div>streetcar to home.<br /><div>relax, eat, and spend time with the kristy and the kittens.</div><div>ride scooter to coffee shop.</div><div>study, study.</div><div>ride home, shower, sleep.</div><div>(repeat)</div><div><br /></div><div>some of the most mundane and sporadic tasks have been omitted- dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>i suppose there are slight variations; reading in the park, no work certain days, trying a new restaurant. and the weekends change each week, though they often include a lot of relaxation. we've been doing some exploring (most of you have seen the photos of those adventures), and we hope to continue exploring oregon and washington. it is an amazingly beautiful area. we've also been checking out different churches. we found one that we'll be returning to this week to further experience. it's called evergreen, and was found via paul hill- thanks man. </div><div><br /></div><div>oh, if you do the ichat thing, let me know. i've been trying to keep my ichat thing open whenever i'm on my computer and it'd be fun to talk to, or see you (if you have video) in real time.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>enjoy this with me:</div><div><object width="425" height="344"><param

haven't had much to say lately. at least nothing too insightful.<div>but i feel like it's time for a post. so, here's what i've been up to:</div><div><br /></div><div>my little brother graduated from college yesterday... long before his big brother will.</div><div>but i'm proud all the same. if you'd like to congratulate him his blog address is:</div><div>http://jimryanjackson.wordpress.com/</div><div><br /></div><div>in addition to my little brother graduating, my little brother-in-law graduated the same day.</div><div>we had a joint graduation party for them on saturday</div><div>(wheatland forgive me for skipping out on church this weekend).</div><div><br /></div><div>i made my first visit to grace point this weekend.</div><div>my friend andy has begun to lead worship there and asked me to play guitar for him.</div><div>they have a good thing going there, and i'm glad i finally attended a service.</div><div>my dad's been working there for a while now, and he's a pretty cool dude, so i figured it'd be a good experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>i added some new links on my side bar over there ----></div><div>one of them is called "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">stuff christians like</span>" </div><div>another one belongs to an author by the name of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">matthew paul turner</span>.</div><div>and if you like bikes you should def check out "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">the bummer life</span>" blog, </div><div>as well as their bikes at:</div><div>www.swobo.com</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>also in the news, kellie and jeremy should be having their baby anytime now.</div><div>hopefully sooner than later, for kellie's sake.</div><div>you might keep them in your prayers if you think of it.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br

good:<br />ryan and lindsey are now engaged to be married. good news. ryan and i took a road trip last week to lake of the ozarks so ryan could ask lindsey's dad if he was down for it. he, of course, was quite excited. we left thursday around four in the afternoon and arrived at kevin's (lindsey's dad) around eleven after getting lost in the heart of meth country. we told lindsey we were taking a spontaneous road trip to KC... she didn't buy it. kevin wanted to hang out all night so we didn't end up getting home 'til eight in the morning. we had to lie to lindsey about why it was so late. we told her we stayed with here sister in overland park. she called our bluff. she also called her sister. she was pissed. she knew we were lying because she had randomly heard from someone the night we were gone that we went to the lake. so ryan had to tell her why. she responded with an, "i love you... and you are a terrible liar." then last night he popped the question. she, obviously, said yes. <br /><br />what's poppin':<br />new music, that's what. <br />the raconteurs... whoa. <br />the black crowes... yes. <br />counting crows... finally!<br />gnarls barkley... mmm-hmm.<br /><br />what's crackin':<br />30 day move out notice. to our dismay, but with our eyes on the future, kristy and i are evacuating riverside at the end of april... though only physically.<br /><br />what it is:<br />it is monday. that's all i got there.<br /><br />how you livin':<br />i'm livin'. but i'm living with some pain. about four years ago i was having some back problems due to some heavy lifting at a warehouse job. i went to the chiropractor, paid my money, got fixed up, and quit going (like people on a tight budget do, against their chiropractor's wishes). well it's back. i don't know if it's stress or what. but i talked to one of my regulars at the coffee shop who is a chiropractor/yoga instructor. he's always told me that chiropractic work is a temporary fix as opposed to practicing healthy living, eating, exercise, and yoga... he offered to show my around his studio. sounds like i may be checking <br />out the yoga thing.<br /><br />what's happenin':<br />mini vacation. kristy and i are going to portland oregon in a couple weeks. more to come on that. she's amazing. go tell her she's amazing.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

i hope he likes homemade pizza, 'cause that's what he's getting!<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>i love going into book stores and straight to the clearance racks because there are always so many cook books (apparently they just don't sell). this past week i bought a new one all about pizza. it's great because i've been doing homemade pizza for a while now, and i have been looking for some new ideas. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>so jeremy, kellie, ryan, lindsay, and tessia all came over tonight for some pizza and more importantly to watch the finals of AMERICAN GLADIATORS!!!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>i ended up only using a sauce recipe i found in the new book, and actually it was a variation of the recipe. i also tried the recipe for the crust, but it didn't do so well, so i went with my usual recipe.</div><div><br /></div><div>pizza on the menu tonight:<br /></div><div>fresh thick sliced mozzarella, an oregano/garlic tomato sauce with olive oil, pepperonis, thin sliced red bell peppers, portobello mushrooms, and fresh tomatoes. all, of course, on a "made from scratch" crust.</div><div><br /></div><div>i think i should start naming these. </div><div>any suggestions for tonight's new pizza?</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
