I used to have a huge profile, but now I'll keep it short and sweet.

My full name is Terrence James Read, that's where TJ comes from. I live in Gatineau, and I love it, because I can look up at the stars and not see a cloud of smog. I enjoy going to Ottawa as much I can, though.

I also love cooking. That's kinda why I am here. Any type of cooking is always fun :) I'm starting to experiment with Carribbean and North African flavors. They are two different things, I know, but they still taste awful good.

My dream is to one day become a Certified Master Chef, and that's a big dream, but I think I can take it on. I don't really know where I am going to study, IF I am going to study that is. I'll decide when the time comes.

I also have a girlfriend, her name is Rachel, and she lives in Gatineau also. We have been together for about 8 months now. I love her very much.

Well, other than that, I am ooking foir work right now. If any of yoy fellow foodies hear soemthing in the Ottawa Center area, drop me a line.

Cheers,

TJ

Hi TJ,
I would love to get that salmon recipe from you! And for the two sides as well. I have finally got my bf eating fish so I might as well make it good before he gets turned off again!

Thanks!

Mono sucks. I had it when I was about 15 too. All I could keep down for about 2 weeks was ginger ale. To this day I have a strong adversion to giner ale. Hope you feel better sonn - it took me about 2 weeks to recover.

Take care!

Welcome to the site, Terrence. Let me know if any conspiracy-theorists start bugging you and I'll tell them off for you, okay? :-)

I have to admit my first reaction on seeing you here was "Sure, a fifteen-year-old experienced cook working at TJ Pagoda's and his name is... TJ. Right..."

But I've convinced myself that you're genuine, so let's go with that. You've got one heck of a head start on your career so kudos to you! A 100,000 BTU burner must be awesome to wok on -- I heard some Chinese restaurant kitchens have 200,000+ BTU and it's like cooking on an upturned F-16 jet engine afterburner. Whoooeee! (And I thought my range was all right with 14,000 BTU per burner.)

I hope you feel better soon!
