The kitchen is a weird place to be. It is the perfect embodiment of instant gratification. So last week I was working hard to get a lot of work done. We had two or three parties that needed to get completed. You’ll recall that in the following post http://newbieintheweeds.blogspot.com/2008/07/too-smoked-salmon-shitty-buzz-and-it.html I had made a serious error with smoking the tea smoked salmon. Well this is the opposite experience.
Former Head, now Executive Chef can be a rather scary person. In his heart of hearts I know that he is a teddy bear who is misunderstood. So when he asks a question that relates to something I’ve done I have a little trepidation in answering it.
Last week I had to prepare three or four hotel pans (I can’t remember, isn’t that horrible, but also great because that means I am working so much) of chicken. So Executive Chef asks; “Who made the chicken?” L and I both look around because we are not sure whether it is a good “Who made the chicken” or a bad one. Do you know what I mean by that? Simply that it could go either way. After he asked the question again and I was hiding in dry stores I looked at him and said; “I did Chef.” Without missing a beat (you think elephants have memories or perhaps the salmon was just that shitty that it is unforgettable try working for a German Chef on a mission) He looked right at me and said; “Almost redeems your Salmon incident.” To which I laughed.
The irreverent Jack Handy, SNL character extraordinaire once said; “Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.”
Are you dreaming big and inspired? I say this at the end of every post. And I really am curious. Are you dreaming? Are they big? Are you inspired? If not, why not? What do you need in order to live your dreams. To function in the world according to your hearts deepest and most true desire. What can I do to help you dream big and inspired? I’m SERIOUS! Because I genuinely believe that this world is a little too messed up sometimes (read most) to not actively pursue exactly what it is your heart desires. Live up to your own expectation because what people expect from you is ALWAYS going to be less than you do. That said, get off your ass. Dream, actively pursue it and become the person you always wanted. Only to realize that the person you always wanted to be was always there, just hibernating waiting for that eureka moment to become the realized you. (And no I’m not reading some far out philosophy that created the last statement, this is how I live my life. EVERY DAY!)
Big? Inspired? YOU?
A la prochaine
