I’m about to head out the door to Kristin’s house and then we are heading down to Chattanooga with a full car. Tomorrow we are going white water rafting, me for the very first time. I’m super excited.

Then Sunday I’m going on Brian’s new sailboat! It should be a blast.

Water weekend, here I come!

It’s been a long time since I’ve auditioned for anything, and now I find myself faced with one of the most important auditions in my life! I am attending an open casting call in Atlanta in a few weekends and I’m preparing like I would for any audition. Except instead of practicing monologues, I’m practicing plating food dishes. It’s the audition for FOX’s MasterChef competition, where amateur chefs compete for $250,000 and the title of MasterChef.

A lot of it will be based on luck, I know. The casting call will be crazy…probably an open floor with tons of tables where contestants line up and wait for the judges to come around and taste their food. Much like an 8th grade science fair. The judges will be looking at presentation of the dish, taste and personality of the chef. I really think I have a good chance, but it all depends on what they are looking for. Like any audition, the “director” has something specific in mind and even if I think I’m a good fit, I may not be what they have in mind.

But fingers crossed! I’m hosting tasting nights for the next few weeks to prepare and try out different dishes that could withstand a long wait. Keep your eye on www.thekamikazechef.com for pictures and updates!
