I drove all the way from MN to AK by myself, for those that can't comprehend, get a map and start tracing with your finger. You will need to flip the page several times. Then imagine the longest time you've ever gone without human contact. It took four days, I drove 12-13 hrs a day, with a layover in BC to fix the serpentine belt ( Read more... )

Went to the first wine tasting meeting, 5 people showed up and there were 4 bottles of wine. I have a hard time faking that fact that I don't give a shit about wine. Let alone discussing the finer points of taste and regionality and grape varietals. I drank 4 glasses of wine in 45 min though. That was pretty nice ( Read more... )

I got an honest to God sunburn this weekend. I fell asleep on the ice while I was fishing. I look like a racoon. I caught very few fish. I haven't started my new job yet. I'm going stir crazy

I'm going to the wine tasting club this afternoon at school. It should be interesting

I quit on Mon, finished my shift, told the owner I was done and called the Chef. He called the restaurant back 5 min later, talked to the bar manager and refered to me as "that fucking fagot ( Read more... )

After asking my Chef if he would give a good reference, he didn't. I applied for a job ar Kinkaids. The Chef there called my current one and he totally lied about the quality of work I do and the type of person I am. Thankfully, I had already met the guy so he's giving me an interview today ( Read more... )

I quit my job in Chaska, well technically, my last day will be in two weeks. I can't wait to get out of there, everyday is worst than the last. Granted, I've gotten myself wrapped up in things that compound the problem for me beyond just the kitchen bullshit, but it's still making my life miserable. It's to the point now where I'm not even enjoying ( Read more... )

Um, yeah I'm still cooking, I lost big in my competition last weekend, embarassing. I just ate a huge breakfast made with hollandaise and poached eggs. So yeah

I really want to go home. I just really want to go home for the Holiday and not do anything for a few days so I can relax. Just a lot of stuff everyday without any real break, it's sad when you consider a day off to be a day in which you don't have to do anything until 3 in the afternoon.....

I hate buying Christmas gifts, I don't like it even more considering that I don't have any money to speak of. I tried buying some things on line but a $20 purchase turns into a $35 when shipping is added. So fuck that!! I'm left with having to brave the stores in person ( Read more... )

Had my 1st day at the new restaurant last night, aka, the first time I have worked in a real kitchen. It was kind of a rush, a little stressful but cool none the less. I had to give the Sous Chef a ride home because his car broke down, so I sat around for 45 min waiting for the dishwasher to finish not knowning that it was accecptable for the staff ( Read more... )
