Fear and self loathing
In less than 48 hours Cafe 56 will open with me as it's pastry chef, part of a team of just three people, one of which is an 18 year old girl working her first job. In slightly more than a month we have transformed this place into a beautiful restaurant space, not something that happens often. No one opens a restaurant in a month ( Read more... ) -
Busy hands are happy hands.
(apologies for the un-edited and un-corrected post - time has slipped away and I need to be in the kitchen shortly)
A change is in the air...

I know I should write about my trip to NYC with my hubby, but I can't do it. I had a good time, but right now I am just in a funk. We got home a few hours ago and without the distractions of the big city my mind keeps running back to him.

WTF?

As even my ghosting has been sporadic, I seem to have missed something.
What happened to Bob (low_fat_muffin )? The thing I remember I was reading about his prep/trainging for his huge bike ride and the next thing I know, his journal doesn't exist.

Ask Me Anthing, part 2
Jeff (theotherqpc ) asks "What is the most annoying part of your job)
I have taken a day or two think about this question and I think the answer is simple - my bosses, and to be more exact - my bosses' lack of planning, professionalism, or compassion. There is not much that I get to do during that day that I wouldn't enjoy if they hadn't sucked all the life ( Read more... )
