Captain Lee is a Naval Officer, Physician, Historian and Writer and tonight we will dive into his historical novel and learn why history can be so fascinating. Tune in as we go under the cover of the highly rated Moryak.

President Theodore Roosevelt learns that it is the intention of Russian Tsar Nicholas II to sabotage the Portsmouth Peace Conference in 1905. In response, he sends Lieutenant Stephen Morrison on a top secret mission with British agent Sidney Reilly to kidnap the Tsar and remove him from Russia. Morrison appears to be the ideal man for the mission as he was born in Russia, is fluent in the language and is knowledgeable in Russian political affairs.

Chattin In Manhattan, Discovering your inner Rock Star!

 When I look back on my life, the years have wisped by like the last bit of green light of the sun as it slips over the horizon...the ever so famous

Green Flash.  If you look away even for an instant or blink an eye, you will miss it.  People claim they see it while others mock pessimistically that it is make believe.  I am one of those that have seen it.

In the same way, my life seems to have been but a glimpse and I do not doubt for a second that tomorrow…and the ensuing years…will pass quickly just the same.  Assuming we make it there, tomorrow will come and go swiftly so I am going to make damn sure that I enjoy this playground of ours TODAY!

Chef  Yadiyah Letellier

Bake It Up With: Yadiyah Letellier

Chef In The Making

His name is Yadiyah and several weeks ago I came across photos of his work that were posted on Facebook friend Carla Hall D'Ambra's wall and I was very moved and inspired. Yadiyah is seventeen years old and his life's passion is to become a chef, he is one of 13 kids and is defying the odds. We are honored here at Chattin In Manhattan to interview him as one of our featured chefs. His dream is to attend Monroe College for Culinary Arts and is working on raising funds through grants and loans to attend. He recently won a contest for his Deep Dish Apple Tart dessert. For those who know him, they will tell you that Yadiyah in an inspiration and someone to model their life after.

What inspired you to become a chef?

I always enjoyed cooking and watching my mom cook, and watching the food network but I really didn't look at becoming a chef because I was focused on basketball till my sophomore year in high school.  I then started thinking about my future and I started to taking a cooking class at my local Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club.  I started to really get into cooking and my chef instructor was amazed with my skills. I decided that I wanted to become a chef and I believed that I could really make it as a successful young chef.  I got into the culinary arts skills program at Barry Tech in Westbury, NY, and got a job at North Shore Country Club that summer of 2010 where I started to build on my skills in the kitchen. As I finished up with my 1st year of culinary arts skills program, I started to get job offerings but I decided to play basketball for the summer of 2011. So it got closer to the end of the summer and I got an offer from Glen Head Country Club. I got very excited to get back in the kitchen. Once I met the head chef Clifford Goodman I was set, and he was great guy.

What is the biggest challenge you face to becoming a chef?

The biggest challenge Is in perfecting my dishes, trying to make them over-the-top, and giving the people what they want. Also having to joggle the life of a chef and a basketball player is a real challenge with all the extreme basketball workouts and games. Then comes the crazy chef life with long hours in the kitchen and finally, making all meals “worth the wait” but I'm ready for any challenge thrown at me.

Who is your chef hero?

My Chef at Glen Head Country Club, Chef Cliff Goodman.  He is amazing and he inspires me to be better.  I always look forward to seeing and working with him. I feed off of his energy.  I’m grateful for his guidance.

What is your favorite dish that you make?

I have noticed that I am really into desserts now and I love all the art and passion that is put into the making of a dessert.  My favorite dish to make is an apple tart with a homemade vanilla bean ice cream, homemade caramel sauce, garnished with a chocolate twig covered with almonds crumbs. This is my favorite dish to make because it has all the components that a dessert should have. This is also my favorite dish because it brings a smile to my face every time I make it.  It makes my clients happy, too!  There are so many creative and delicious possibilities starting with a simple apple…

What can you tell others striving to make it as a chef?

Be prepared to work hard, put in long hours, move at the speed of light, and to be able to excel under pressure.  It’s so satisfying to create beautiful, delicious food for others to enjoy…it’s really not work for me.  It’s a way of life.  Oh yeah, wear comfortable shoes.  Sometimes it’s all about the shoes..

My life has been an unusual journey and I have tried to learn through every aspect of it to give me some sense of direction as to what my purpose in life would be. Every child asks themselves over and over again -- What do I want to be when I grow up? And the list starts being compiled -- a doctor, lawyer, teacher, professional athlete, etc. My list however was diverse and it included; a meteorologist, a teacher, a CSI agent (clearly I watched too much TV as a kid) and lastly a police officer.

All through college and the years following, I worked in the corporate world and was promoted into many different positions, but at the end of the day I was not fulfilled. I spent a good many years working in human resources and employee relations because my true passion was people. Counseling and developing people at work got me through each stress filled year. The stress of the corporate world took its toll on me physically with what seemed like one tremendous migraine headache after another. Then one day in my office during one particularly stressful day I recall feeling dizzy, I lost feeling in my body, and the next thing I remember was I woke up in the emergency room. I knew then that something had to change…

I needed something and I gathered the courage to change everything. I literally hit ‘control-alt-delete’ and rebooted myself. I knew that just like a poorly running computer, I needed better programming. I knew that my past would not equal my future and I started to take charge of my life. I needed the best tools and carefully developed a plan on where I wanted to be and what I needed to do to get there. I hired a results oriented life coach, started using the best self-developmental tools, reclaimed my physical self, put my nose to the grind stone and forged full steam ahead.

Today, I am stronger, wiser, and a different person. I would never go back and change things even if I had the opportunity to do so. It took me a long time to understand why I went through this journey. Then one day it came to me…. I went through this journey to help and support others. I never knew what I wanted to do when I grew up but there it was sitting right in front of me, clear as day - a life coach that specializes in real life!

Any woman who has dealt with infertility knows that coping shows up in many different emotions -- laughing, crying, feeling hopeful to depressed -- all in a matter of an hour sometimes even less. The thing is only if you are the woman going thru infertility do you know how this feels -- the rollercoaster ride which you have no control over -- doctor's appointments, ultrasounds, blood work, shots, and of course the emotions that come along with this.

One of the only things that a woman has control of is what she wants to talk about or not. You see everyone wants to be supportive -- spouses, parents, friends, and that is great but ‘note to self people’. Don’t say a word until she brings it up or in some cases chooses not to bring it up at all. Asking how is everything going when she is being poked, prodded and feels like an overstuffed sausage because of all the bloating from medications --- probably not a wise thing to do. Take the lead from her and trust me everyone will be in much better place!

And one last thing -- think before you speak -- saying stupid things like you will get pregnant in time or you need to relax to a woman dealing with infertility will lead to an explosion that you will not be ready to deal with! I call these statements stupid because if you took a moment to think about it telling a woman she will get pregnant in time-- hello she is seeing an infertility specialist for a reason! And then the best one telling a woman to relax -- how can a woman really relax going through all these things? One answer to that question - she can't relax -- just be there for her, think before you speak and chocolate always brings a smile!

Anyone dealing with infertility knows what true commitment it is - the emotional and physical toll it takes on your body, your mind, the doctor’s visits, and the financial burden. And as if dealing with infertility wasn’t hard enough now add work and this becomes a dangerous combination to those who cross your path.

Most people work because they have to not because they want to. Who goes to work because they love their job, enjoy getting bossed around, and then at the end of the week they are thrilled when they see their measly paycheck? Chances are your paycheck is going towards those uncovered infertility treatments and unless you are independently wealthy, work is a necessary evil.

Tuesday night on CIM we are thrilled to welcome international sensation Vince Morvillo.  

This amazing blind man races sail boats around the world in a competitive, high stakes game of skill and technique. He is a man who knows a thing or two about going for it all, crushing fear and living life to its fullest.

Tune in as we dive into his world and discover how nothing holds him back even though he is blind. If want to be inspired this is the show for you.

Time for you to check-in with yourself and evaluate your goals and objectives. Are you really achieving your goals or even some of them? Are you becoming a better person, spouse, partner, or friend? Remember that consistently asking yourself questions is the best way to get the right answers! Here are ten important questions to ask during your self-evaluation.

1. What have been some of your biggest accomplishments in the past year?

2. Are making more money or making less money?

3. Does the relationship with your partner have the passion and joy you desire?

4. Have you met your fitness goals, or done little to nothing fitness wise?

5. Are you eating healthier? Think what you've eaten in last 48 hours-Does that represent the past year?

6. Have you given back to your community in any way?

7. Have you paid down some debt or gone deeper into debt?

8. Have you achieved your important goals and objectives, or are you lost?

9. Have you improved your overall life quality for yourself and your loved ones?

10. When you look in the mirror and think about all you have done this year, do you say "Yes" or "No"?

Your current mindset will determine your next steps and a positive attitude helps along the way. As you evaluate always remember that the past does not equal the future and you must be determined to adjust your thought process in this way.

There is still time to make an impact in your life and close out the year on a very positive note. Let's go back to the previous ten questions and create a quick year-end closeout strategy for your life!

1. Maybe your accomplishments were not big, but everyone has small little wins along the way. Think of those little wins in a different light and learn from them.

2. If you are one of the millions of people unemployed in the country it's hard to look at this question without some level of disgust. This is where you clearly say to yourself that the past does not equal the future!

3. Passion and desire starts with you being present in your relationship. You can be together with your partner and not be present as you are listening, talking, and simply communication. Start today by being present and communicating with your partner-see what happens.

4. Fitness goals are often set at such a high level that when you are not perfect you feel like a failure. Get moving, stop sitting, walk, run, jump and do something physical today. Even some physical exercise releases those endorphins to pick up your mood.

5. If the last 48 hours of food consumption scares you, then compound it over the past year. Starting a diet headed into holiday is many times doomed for failure. Monitor your food intake and think conscientiously about eating healthier. Combined with your physical exercise will keep you focused to start the new year at the next level of a healthier you!

6. Giving back can be most rewarding as the holidays approach. If you have the means, try to give back to your community by making a donation or contributing your time. Many families cannot enjoy the holidays due to poverty, illness, or even being the victim to one of the many natural disasters over the past year.

7. Paying down debt and saving money comes down to focus and discipline. Create a detailed monthly budget as to what money comes in and what money goes out. Scrutinize the detail and look for opportunity to save and begin the New Year on the right foot. Your discipline will be tested when holiday gift-giving time comes. Stay focused!

8. Make sure that your goals and objectives are achievable in the given time. But always remember that you cannot significantly change your life with taking some type of massive action towards that change. Have you done that or are you status quo? If you've continued to make the same mistakes during the past year, positive change is unlikely.

9. Improving the quality of your life is directly proportional to you and your loved ones level of happiness. Buying a yacht does not improve your quality of life if you and your loved ones continue to be unhappy. Happiness is a positive state of well-being and contentment. Does money determine your level of happiness?? If you answered yes then you should re-evaluate your priorities!!

10. When you look in the mirror you have to like what you see. See through the physical image in the glass and look deep into your inner self. YOU have to like and nurture your inner self to make things happen. Ever wonder why when you are boarding an airplane and the flight attendant says that if the cabin depressurizes and the oxygen mask drops, you must put the mask on yourself first before you assist a loved one. Take time to care for and nurture your inner self, then you will be able to say YES to that image you see in the mirror.
