I've been freaking out all week because the bakery called me back to tell me that despite the fact they had guaranteed me a job for this summer, my internship last year worked out so well that they're starting a program with the local culinary school. Which means they no longer need an engineering student. Shit ( Read more... )

TVaddict!chef has finished SPN S2 and, being an incorrigible Deangirl, is incensed that only Sam got dirty in S2.
Her: Can we please talk about hot, sexed-up Dean? When does he get a sex scene?
Me: Not until S4. Then they both get some.
Her: But they're really good, right?
Me (thinking about Dean's sweet & slow versus Sam's rough & dirty): It's... ( Read more... )

As my BB rec list continues to eat my life, I need all of you to go watch this right the hell now:

Just got home from a going-away work party, since one of our Swiss apprentice bakers is flying home this week. In theory, it was an American Melting Pot potluck, which turned out to mean cases and cases of European liquors. Let me tell you, drunken Swiss boys singing in German makes for some damn good entertainment. And, of course, the food was ( Read more... )

[+] This weekend was absolute insanity, but of the very fun sort. Saturday was Swiss National Day (yay to any Swiss on my flist!) and my bakery caters the embassy events, so I've been working ten-hour shifts starting at 5am since Thursday. (The Swiss embassy, by the way, is stunning. Wow.) I'm exhausted, but admittedly rather excited for the ( Read more... )

Ahaha, anyone remember that I loaned TVaddict!chef L SPN S1? She texted me last night.
if you don't bring s2 tomorrow don't bother showing up bc you're fired. I need it now.
And then when she arrived this morning, the first thing she said to me was "This was such an awesome show until that bullshit finale. What the fuck was THAT? Does the dad die? ( Read more... )

up on dry land by ampersands. Jared/Jensen. PG. Things have been ending for a while now.NON-AU POST-SPN J2 ROAD TRIP. UNF YES. When it's well-written, this is pretty much my bulletproof kink, and this author handles it so, so beautifully. The atmosphere is incredible and her boys are so comfortable with each other. Actually, though, the thing that absolutely ( Read more... )

Today we made white peach & champagne sorbet. (Okay, it is officially a bakery/pastry shop, but we also have coffees and sandwiches and soup and ice cream.) Mondays are our slowest day - it was just pastry chef L & myself in the kitchen. So we blanched and pitted and pureed the peaches, then added a bottle of uber-expensive imported European ( Read more... )

I was talking to the new counter girl at my Bakery of Crazy, and she is kind of amazing! I already want us to be BFFs, because she is so sweet and smart and - actually, she's pretty much a Mary Sue. But real! Anyway, she's getting married to her college sweetheart in December, so we started talking about guys. She asked me if I was dating anyone, I ( Read more... )

radio commercial: Charles Tooown races and slots! Right down the road, where the action is hot!
Swiss intern baker R: What are sluts?
Kate: ...uh. Saywhatnow?
R: Sluts! Like in the commercial. You know, races and sluts.
Kate: *explains difference between slots and sluts*
R: Oh. So either way, you pay to put something in, no?
There does seem to be a ( Read more... )
