#NFT Artist Jeff Kaufman

Brief Introduction:

I have been surrounded by art my whole life. My mother was an oil painter, Betty Kaufman, who throughout her life taught painting and supported her family with the sales of her art pieces and through teaching.

My art was in music. That will always be part of who I am and then also food as Chef for most of my life. Unlike my mother, I could only draw and didn't paint until I digital media.

Most of my artwork takes days, weeks, months or longer. I use Artflow and SketchBook, along with Snapseed and other photo and painting apps.

The process starts as a sketch. Then coloring and shading. I blend many of my colors or use tinting to make changes. Nothing I paint is from a picture but from my mind.

I love still art and expressing a moment in time in art. Still life is a moment caught in a blink of an eye and as always, the devil is in the details. I find myself lured into still life paintings, looking for the detail.

My art is for sale for Ethereum and Binance BNB.

Chef Recommended: Best Chef Knives on a Budget

During my entire career as a Chef, I have used and owned a large number of Chef knives. I own blades made of various metals. Japanese steel, molybdenum, high carbon, German, etc..

I own knives I originally paid over 100$ or more for that have been battle tested and proven, but ended up beaten into a kitchen drawer.

My wife adopted a few of those blades for our own kitchen at home and she didn't want to part with them when I went back to work in my culinary arts career late this year.

I needed my own knives. My budget was less than 100$ and my quest was to get at least a decent 10" Chef Knife and a good Kiritsuke Chef knife. (I fell in love with a Kiritsuke styled knife years ago from the Black Diamond series by Sysco..)

I know the blade materials I need as a Chef. Balance. Weight. Edge Retention. Ease of sharpening. Handle materials. Etc..

I started researching all the knives I could find on Amazon. Quality knives can be really expensive, so it can be difficult to look at all the knives that Amazon offers and think you can outfit a Chef for under 100$ with a decent set of Chef knives.
Let me assure you, there are a ton of cheap Chinese made knives that might suit most amateur cooks but very few that would make a Chef like myself happy.

My demands for a cheap set of knives for work were simple. Great edge retention, solid construction and dependable steel that is balanced and easy to work with.

My end result for meeting my needs and still buying professional quality Chef knives, came down to one brand. Wallop.

• High Carbon German Stainless steel. 

• Full-Tang riveted wooden handle. 

• Balanced and lightweight. 

• Great edge retention. 

• Easy to resharpen. 

• Low prices.

While Wallop might be considered a lower grade of brand, the craftsmanship and materials, plus performance, makes these knives stand out. I use them every day and depend on them to do a variety of tasks. 

My expectations have been met beyond what I originally had hoped for. 

These are great knives and you can easily outfit a Chef with a great set that will last a lifetime for well below the cost of other brands. 

I highly recommend Wallop Chef knives. They work hard and look great. Great overall performance and incredible edge retention. 

These Chef knives are professional grade for much less than others. 

Trust me, I know good quality and what a good set of knives should be able to do and Wallop has it all.

Restarting My Career: Be a Chef or Hate Life?

Not too long ago, I gave up my career as an Executive Chef. I became a single parent and tossed it all away to raise my children and fight for them. I went from a comfortable income to a straight up $9.50 an hour job. 

Then, throughout the last few years, I've done whatever I could to make ends meet. I worked slop and drop shitholes that still haunt my nightmares. Took "Chef work" in places where yeah, I put out some amazing food but in some of the most embarrassing places. Where once a .45 fell out of a metal mixing bowl or the stove was held up by a car jack. Yeah. That happened. 

I also dabbled in Electrician work. Spent 4 years learning to become an electrician. Great if I could remember when I dreamt about becoming one. I realized one day that I didn't want to become an electrician, amongst other reasons, I walked away from the idea. Took work as a Dietician/Account Manager and found the idea of helping people eat better, was actually a budget problem not a conscious obligation. People became numbers and those above me just wanted to save an account. That and being sexually assaulted by the director of the facility was enough. Fuck that. Heathcare Services Group was an embarrassment. So if you add it all up, this has been a sucky few years since walking away from the Chef life. 

I didn't realize how much I missed the good life. This path I was on wasn't my calling. Being a Chef was but I had to do what I had to do. 

Now that I'm back at pursuing that career, let's talk about making a come back. It wasn't easy. First 4 days was hell. At 46 though, I'm still fast and on time. I started at a busy restaurant in Sautee as an aspiring Sous Chef. 

Basically a lead Chef position or a head line Chef position under an Executive Chef with a soon to open Sous Chef position. My first two nights weren't too bad. The first day of orientation, Hell. One the first day of orientation, my wife blows the engine on our CX7 Masda. That was a heck of a start at my new job. A good friend though has made sure I am at work every day. Now, there's more to say... To be Continued...

Where is it? Where's

My Favorite Coffee Cup!

I have this dilemma every morning. Every time, every morning, I’m stuck trying to figure out which coffee cup I should use?

Will I be out and about?

Should I grab my stainless steel traveling mug?

Will this be a lazy weekend day? Should I grab my oversized cup or my small one? Damn it…where’s my old reliable? Working? Need a big one….wait it’s Saturday….where’s my mug?

This is me, as I peer into the abyss of my coffee cup filled cabinet. Lost in a few moments of…..”Where’s my freaking cup?!”

We all have that one, special, just yours, nobody else can use it, coffee cup. That one and only, everyday brethren of welcoming day, mug of glory!

Few of us have the selection I have, lurking in my morning, a midst my coffeemaker button pushing, clock zoning out, bathroom running, awakening start, I stumble into Columbia’s Coffee Cup University…kind of like a quick brain jog while your half awake, recognizing the cup you desire, in the gloomy AM dim, sometimes tucked too far back, leading you to taking out cups as quietly as possible, in order to reach it....tiredly clanging them together no matter how hard you try.

I stare at an intimidating amount of choices in sizes, colors, shapes, and technologically advanced options. I have a Stanley thermos mug that can keep my coffee hot all day long, a bone china mini cup, a bunch of Christmas mugs, and one cup that a person could make soup for 8 in. Somewhere in between there lurks my mug. It’s unique. It’s made out of ceramic. Unlike the few others in my cabinet made from glass, clay, steel. China. Paper?

Which one is the one? Which cup is my go to cup? Which cup or mug, should it ever break, be missed like a runaway pet? Like a lost best friend in the Himalayan mountains… Hmmmmm….. where is that #@$&#@& cup?

Yeah that’s my baby. Chipped up like it survived several falls to its death. Spider cracked. Superglue applied handle.

A fucking snowman with a big orange carrot nose. A white skinny Xmas tree. Red like a stocking.

Hand painted Christmassy ornamentation, warm in my hand in the middle of May? Yep. That’s my favorite coffee cup, all season long, unless of course, I’m heading outdoors.

Then, well…Snowman cup stays home and Stanley comes with.

What’s your favorite coffee cup look like?
