Best I ever had
So I had my interview with my chef, and he says I am doing everything he wants. He couln't be happier with my progress and is planning to move me up the line. Fooking awesome. He's not one to dish out compliments, but he was really happy and said I am doing a great job. That was really nice to hear.
Other than that, he said I deserve credit for coming in early, but need to come in a bit later than my usual time of noon. He said it's important to make sure you have a balanced life otherwise you burn out.
I hear that one, chef....
Work has been buttery smooth lately, like when the Durham Bulls start winning all the time, I'm 90 percent happy, even with the added workload and the blessings of the chef. But I do need a life, other than exchanging work stories with the barstaff at orchid, where my beers are free, it's close to my place. M@ is right, friends will be there, and life is long, when we have the time to live it.
I am getting a bit tired of missing calls from friends, text's I can answer and messages that I cant check. Im a bit lonely.
I know I bitch about it a lot, but I am feeling a bit lost right now, work is my main focus, which I nice, but I need a damn life.
Dinner for some friends this month:
Seared tuna salad, shaved fennel, lemon oil, verjus
Carmelized Diver Scallops, Corn and Red onion hash, Spinach beurre noisette
Black Bass, Baby summer vegtables, Parsley Jus and potato puree
Or
Sirloin, baby summer vegtables, sauce bordelaise and potato puree
Dessert
Peach Confit, Drunken berries and lemon mint granite
