Mise-en-place: a way of life

Posted on January 19, 2015 by The Daily Cure

It’s no secret. I’m not very good at blogging while I’m working. I’m a freelancer, and the work I do requires full-on attention when I get it. Usually I’ll have three days or a week or three weeks (if I’m … Continue reading →
