Chef Extraordinaire
The little stint I had working in a commercial kitchen this past winter was EXHAUSTING. I would crawl home sooooo tired. A lot harder than sitting on my butt in front of my computer 8-12 hours at a time.i'm back.
thanks, gg. it was a nice vacation. a trip to vermont amd searching out a summer rental down the jersey shore, but no florida, though.
my culinary discoveries from vacation were i bought a small bottle of bacon salt (can't wait to try it on grilled chicken or a salad), and i had a fantastic dish called something like malafammena", which was shellfish - lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels, and crab over linguini in a soupy tomato/old bay/clam broth. really good.
lots of baseball of late. i'm beat after working 5 hours non-stop in the kitchen at the ballfield tonight slinging hot dogs, french fries, and chicken fingers. i have a new found respect for short order cooks. i was only doing it for 5 hours (without a minute break) and i'm pretty tired. i can't imagine cooking and serving like that for 8 or 10 hours or longer. thank god i got to work with a woman who runs a school cafeteria as her regular job. i only made 1 mistake on the register as well, so i think we did ok.
anyway, i'm happy to be back at my own job where my butt gets ever wider as i sit in front of a keyboard.
still, it was fun.
Glad you're back!
