In The Beginning...

There was light!...Ok, just kidding!

Hello, my name is Half Pint. Yes, I know it's not a really name but just a nickname that I'm used too. I'd rather keep some of my personal life a bit of a secret. (However, if you do know who I am that's alright. Just please don't share it on here. Thanks!)

You're probably wondering why my nickname is Half Pint. Well, two good reasons- one, I'm pretty short for my age, but number two is because I belong to an industry that deals from fast food restaurants to the old and traditional to the newer and modern trends that are starting up everywhere. I'm talking about the food industry and the amazing Art of Culinary.

I am currently a Certified Culinarian and also (a bit to my disbelief) a Certified Pastry Culinarian. (More on that one later if I have the time). I graduated not from a huge Culinary school like Le Cordon Bleu or the Art Institute...no not even the Culinary Institute of America...but one can dream. No, my beginning didn't start until my junior year in high school in the Midwest. Just an ordinary starting trade school and progressing into a small town community college. I however, believe that it doesn't matter where to go to for school for anything Culinary. We all cook, we all read the same books, and we all have an understanding of what it is we do.

This blog Half Pint's Whole Circle covers not only food, but traveling to places I've come across food and other chefs, (both famous and local), photographs of some amazing memories, and of course cookbooks and recipes. So, looking forward to writing some more to my new readers (and old), until then...

Cook, drink, and be safe!
