A Little Rushed... (and maybe a little slow?)

So Reservation on this day was a little busy. Nothing we couldn’t handle of course but busy nonetheless. I did all of my usual prep and then was helping out the line with whatever they called out for.

It was my first taste (personal) of having to deliver quickly in order to keep the line running smoothly. Of course as a newbie I felt as if I was going a little too slow but reminded myself what Chef said; “It all comes in time.” After service was over I was out back having a smoke with A (The Saucier) and I apologized for my speed. He told me quite simply that I had nothing to apologize for as he can hardly remember the last time he had to yell out for so many things from the line. He said I did just fine which reassured me that I would get better.

I am feeling more and more as if I am part of the team at Reservation. Each week I learn more and more and I am getting far more comfortable in my skin there. I am excited, enthralled and loving what I’m doing.

Foe the first time in my life I know I am doing something for me. As a result I wake up everyday with a smile on my face and joy in my heart (though I am missing C incredibly). Her presence would be the only thing that could make life better right now BUT we all have journeys that we must go on AND I am one hundred percent supportive of her in her endeavours.

Thus, Saturday was another day filled with amazing experiences. I hope it was for you as well.

Mark Twain once said; “Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.”

I hope you all have an inspired day!
