Pumpkins Pumpkins Pumpkins!

PRE-CARVED PUMPKINS! Inquire about having a professionally carved pumpkin on your doorstep, table or at any fall event! There is only a limited number of pumpkins I, Thomas Cushing Jr., can produce so please reserve your pumpkins before they are all gone. Email tj.cushing@gmail.com with some contact info and what event your pumpkin is for. This way we can work together to find out what kind of pumpkin best suits your needs. Be as creative as you want, I can do anything from cute to gruesome. Pricing varies on the amount of detail. (an exampe of a high detail pumpkin can be seen below) 

Tis' the season, to be freightful, gastly, ghoulish, [Oktoberfest if you live in the KW region ;) ], and anything horrifying. But fall is a season of rich colors including reds, yellows and oranges. Squash and gourds are harvested. Don't forget pumpkin's, the king of the gourds. So with a slash and stabbing of a knife the creature is formed. From the depths of the darkness the king of the pumpkin world arises... and looks something like this! HaHa :)

New Gear

Every chef gets excited over new equipment and toys. It's a fact! Not just because they are new, but because of how they can improve performance, speed, and accuracy by utilizing a new technology or instrument. Any professional, in any feild, always has brand new equipment and the latest technologies because they know it will improve performance. OK ... Back to me being excited over new toys ;) ... I went down to S.T.O.P. Restauraunt Supply, Victoria st. Kitchener. and picked out:

 Wusthof - Classic Ikon - 9" Chef Knife
 Wusthof - Sharpening Steel - 10"
 Wusthof - Single Groove
 Two sided Melon Baller
 A Couple Years Old (need a new one, but it has treated me good) - J.A. Henckels - Paring knife - 3 1/2"


HALLOWEEN IS AROUND THE CORNER! EMAIL ME ABOUT PRE-CARVED PUMPKINS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE! tj.cushing@gmail.com









I have a big orange pumpkin staring at me, waiting for me to dig in, STAY TUNED FOR SOME GOUHLISH PICTURES...

Skateboard Company Anniversary

The Stickiest of the Icky which is a media blog dedicated to skateboarding is owned and operated by a really rad guy Matt Pancer. Matt travels alot and films and photographs skateboarding along the way. He was having a 1.7 year anniversary (don't ask about the 1.7 year, I guess the timing was right lol) for his blog and asked for a skateboard themed platter. Here's what I came up with :
