I couldn’t really sleep last night. I woke up every hour on the hour. Yet, I find myself filled with all kind of energy, so it didn’t really affect me all that much. I think I am excited for my trip to NYC.
Today was a busy day. Beyond the usual I found myself with a massive amount of prep to do. I believe the old expression goes while the cats away the mouse will play. Due to Sous Chef R being away I think that some people are just on automatic pilot. Although my 8 am partner this morning told me that if I do their work once it will always be expected. I replied that while that may be true, I am here to do a job and regardless of who does it that job is going to get done. I prefer to let my work do the talking rather than my mouth. AND MY WORK IS BEYOND REPROACH! So I just went along my merry way banging one thing after another off of my list.
Health in a Glass (H.I.A.G.) this morning was absolutely awesome. I did two of them. The first was with an egg, grapefruit juice, grapefruit, raspberries, raspberry yoghurt, honeydew melon and ice. DELICIOUS.
The second was also fabulous. Two bananas, blackberries, raspberry yoghurt, an egg, pineapple juice and ice. AWESOME!
The specials that I created for yesterday flew off the line. When I came in there was none of the prep that I had done which means they sold it all. Good to know. Mental note to self.
By the time I had left today the specials that I created were doing quite well indeed. I would love to go two days in a row with all of what I prepared gone.
As for tomorrow the specials are as follows;
Hawaii 5 – 0 pizza (I had something in mind but by the time I left the ingredient hadn’t come in so I figured I would go with H50).
The pasta on the other hand is WOW. It is cavatappi in a crab rose sauce with mushrooms and shallots finished off with some truffle oil. YUMMY! I know that will go like gangbusters.
I also got to speak with two of the members today. My regulars. They both love what I am doing and gave me a big thumbs up. In fact one of them said that he wanted to make sure that I’d stay around so he would get me a membership. I assured him that I was going nowhere quickly. Murphy’s Law, today was the first day in a week that I had not made Carrot Muffins. They wanted one, which I offered to make, but sold them on a smoothie instead. However, tomorrow morning I am going to make some mini carrot muffins and give them to him.
I love this job. I love serving people. I love being an important part of peoples day. I love the way that food can transform not only lives but also the world. One stomach at a time. IT FEELS GREAT!
