I first whale watched in the 1980s as the grey whale began showing a comeback after years of slaughter.

The good news about my unemployable circumstances is my liberated time. For most of my adult years unrestricted time was an illusive luxury. Between parenting, career building, and life maintenance, my personal quality time was like a failed reduction sauce of limited moments with the evening news and occasional bubble baths.

When the same search term shows up on this blog’s statistics, I smell buzz, interest and something’s going on. “Rahm Fama” and variations of his name, keep showing in my search engine terms. So, I’m smelling meat. Really. Meat. As I reported in January https://charmainesmusepallet.wordpress.com/2010/01/06/chef-rahm-fama-vegetarians-be-advised/ vegetarians and PETA advocates, be advised, Chef Fama, “a kid from Santa Fe,” was under consideration for a new Food Channel program, Meat Masters.
