If you need a good recipe for Ahi Tuna Pizza, or just want to check out the most recent site I finished, visit Alchemy Foods. Alchemy Foods is a catering company owned by chef Tzveti Gintcheva, her dishes are focus on using the best, freshest ingredients in interesting ways to offer unique culinary experiences. You will find the recipe as the first post in the blog, and keep checking back for new recipes regularly.

For all you Pittsburgh people looking for Tamara mayo you should look in the Greek store in the strip because that’s the only place Tzveti knows it’s sold, or use gerular mayo with some spice.

Design and photography credits for the web site go to Rob Larson, you can see more pictures from the food photo shoot on his blog.

I’m a big supporter of surveys that focus on our industry. In light of that, please take the Web Directions survey, State of the Web 2008.  I’ll be sure to post a link to the results once they are released.

In the meantime… check out the results for A List Apart’s 2007 Web Deisgn Survey. This was the first survey ever conducted asking web professionals about the industry in the U.S. and worldwide. 37 questions were answered by 33,000 web professionals and the results are eye opening to say the least. The survey was conducted again in 2008 but the results are not out yet.

I was cleaning up my computer and found a screenshot I took of an alert I got when I installed Microsoft Expressions last year. When I saw this I thought I should even install the program, seeing it crashes, hangs and causes system failures because there can be “major issues with Web installation”.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Good luck Microsoft Expressions. Don’t fall off the bandwagon!
