Can I fit you in my pocket and take you home with me?

Not too long ago at the end of a cooking class I asked the group if they had any final questions. One of the students timidly raised her hand. When I looked in her direction she said, "Can I put you in my pocket and take you home with me?".
The rest of the class laughed a little, then waited for my response. "I don't think I can fit in your pocket", I said. Of course this was very flattering for me to think that I had somehow established myself as someone who could help her, who she could keep handy. I like being useful.
Later when I was thinking about how that class had gone, how I could make it better for the next group, I thought about how we all bring something. Something special to share with each other. I thought about the woman who asked the question. I wanted to be there for her when she needed me. I wanted to be in her pocket. While I was entering my notes from class, I received an e-mail from a relative with a question about how to cook rabbit. ( I know some of you are not happy with the thought, but let's keep it real. Rabbit is good if it is prepared right.) I am a bit slow sometimes, so it took me a few minutes to put it together but what I came up with is with the current technology, it is possible for me to be the Chef in the pocket.
A little disclaimer here: I am a Chef, over thirty years experience in many different types of operations from fine dining to Rock & Roll beer joints, Private Clubs, Hotels, Catering, Personal Chef Services, Bakeries, Industrial Cafeterias, Corporate Dining Centers, Conference Centers, Retirement Communities, and now Hospitals. My current position is with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone, and do not represent Mayo Clinic, Sodexo or anyone except me. This being said, I also want you to know that I do cook at home as often as I can, because it gives me great pleasure to do so. I do bring some of my professional experience home with me and apply it to cooking for my current family of four. Yes, I do cook at home every chance I get. This is something that brings me joy. If having a Chef in your pocket can add joy to your life, let me know how I can help. I will give it my best shot. I also will be open to the opposing approaches of others. Looking forward to the discussion. Chef Richard
