day twelve (or fourteen if you count weekend)
Hey, wtf, why hasn't anyone told me about The Knife? Why is today the first time I'm hearing about them? Wow. Mucho digg.
Day 12: #11 Country Club
Today I sliced... really that was it. Ok not all it. It was a gameday for U-Illinois, so we prepped up high and I basically spent the entire day slicing. My output: 5 logs of cheese, 3 hunks of beef, and 3... hams. I don't know what hams are measured in. 3 of them. All done by around 2pm, too, which is pretty good if I say so myself. It honestly wasn't as busy as I'd expect, but then maybe it's because that store has such a high volume of delivery, while ours is much more in-shop.
I had the country club with bacon on it, as close to a real club sandwich as I could get. Or at least as I wanted to get. It was delicious, though, the bacon was spot-on today.
There was a rumor that Jimmy was going to stop by at some point during the day, but I guess that didn't pan out for him. I really want to meet this guy before I leave, but with only one week left it's seeming less likely. Who knows.
Tonight I cooked some steaks on my tiny two-burner stove, and drank a bottle of Penfold's Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet... I'm finding that I really like anything associated with Shiraz. Go wine.
Tomorrow: day off! Gotta find a record store and pick up some The Knife albums.
