You might remember my post in early March about Carolyn Himes photographing Chef Rob Ruiz food for the Dining Out San Diego magazine, my post was San Diego Magazine. I am excited to write this post and grateful to Carolyn, Chef Rob Ruiz and all those at the Dining Out magazine that was involved in the process of the shoot and selecting this photograph, thank you! Carolyn emailed me late this evening to let me know that the Dining Out magazine is published as of this afternoon, her photograph, chef Rob Ruiz food and my Walnut cutting board is on the front cover!! Love it, Love it, Love it!!

Congratulations! Actually, I have had octopus prepared deliciously in my dinky town here in Oregon. It’s actually quite good if prepared in the correct way. Very tender. However, I want to mention your board looks beautiful in the photograph! Way to go Michael!
