hooba's husum's hangout

hooba's firsthand look at the seamy side of husum's burgeoning wine and food industry through the eyes of the players who shall remain nameless until i choose to expose their every deed. i will document the attempts of a career chef who has been sent to the gorge by some higher power to facilitate the change of the local food and wine scene.

mother's day

hooba here


geez louise. why not remind me that it's been a week or so. sometimes i get caught up in work and forget that i need to let you kids know what's going on therefore i am remiss in my chores. cinco de mayo was the proverbial shit. just when the crowd showed up and decided to put the onus on the kitchen, john and i said that we would have none of that and as fate would have it we avoided implosion while serving every person who decided to order the special. that smokin' chicken burrito was more popular than i ever figured. next time i'll have something less appealing. for some reason i got sidetracked. forgive me. can i be candid? please?


for those of you who might have an agenda or an idea to share with hooba i must let you know that after almost a year of listening to all of the people who told me what i should do i decided to do what i know best and for that am thankful. you reach a point in life wherein you say to yourself " i may not be right but by god i'm going to do it my way" and i shall continue to steer the course as i see fit. speaking of steers or beef as is the case is i have found that my burgers are about as good or better than can be found here in this part of the gorge. i must thank my friend jim hannah for that as he raises the beef and delivers it to me fresh. so fresh you'll want to slap it. that reminds me of the last time i was slapped but we needn't go into details at this point. let's just say i thought i was being nice and she was awfully cute. what the hell was her name anyway? she was the woman of my dreams i think. i'll reminisce for now. i get points for spelling that correctly, not that but reminisce.


we can't let this opportunity go by without acknowledging our mothers. let's not forget that besides the woman who bore us there were the "mother's of invention" thanks to frank zappa. i love my mother to death but she really didn't play the guitar. i'll give her props for the potato salad and the lemon meringue pie but frank worked the axe like no one else i've seen. again i would encourage you to find at least a cd or two that does justice to the time and temperament of your lives. i'm sure you can find a song or two that is appropriate. i might just put his rendition of whatever on the bose to relive some of my youth. i continue to be youthful and i would suggest you do the same. thoughts of this weeks menu are dancing in my head and with that in mind let me know what you would like to eat and we'll see if we can't make that happen. until i see the smile on your face i will leave you with this. some people prefer cupcakes, i for one care less for them.
