I've
been busy as usual. Work as expected is
taking a huge chunk of my time, even on days
that I supposedly allocated as my time off.
Anyhow, I'm not complaining. It's actually
good because it means that the bistro is
doing well, a lot better than it did when I
took over just before Christmas.
I
kind'a miss going out though. But then again
what is there to miss? I'm not really the
type of person who lives for the weekends. I
guess as far as I'm concerned being at work
and seeing things fall into place can be a
lot more rewarding than drinking the night
away. But we all need a bit of downtime.
Sometimes the small amount of time I spend
away from work can be the most productive.
:)
Today
something funny happened. One of the girls
caught me eating a subway. I do it all the
time though... for the sake of having
something different. I cannot just eat
stuffs out of the menu everyday. But I guess
chefs are condemned to this popular
impression that we only eat gourmet stuffs.
Well, I know some who are like that. That's
their problem. Hehehe!
Anyway, she stared at me as though I'm
eating a duck embryo. Hehehe! (Better known
as "balut"
in authentic Filipino cuisine. A few years
ago I brought a few of them to work after we
talked about an episode of
Fear Factor and I showed everybody how
they're really eaten. The Restaurant Manager
got irked with me because I made one of the
waitresses too sick to work that day. Hehehe!)
On a
more pleasant note, I'm very happy with our
vegetable delivery today. Finally I got a
box of vine ripened tomatoes just the way I
want them! Woohoo! They're not too young,
but neither are they fully ripe. The
previous consignment was a bit of a
disaster, good thing we can always use them
for pasta sauce. But today they got it
right. Coolness!
Mmm...
I think I'm going to have a quick light
snack. I'm having "balut"
cravings. Yum! Hehehe!
