Listening to:

I started my new job at the bakery today, and oddly enough all I did was saute mushrooms and carmelize vidalias.  They do quiche in the mornings and I had to prep fillings.  Maybe I'll actually learn pastry soon, and they are supposed to be training me to make gelato as well.  I think that I'm basically being trained to be the go-to monkey in the kitchen.  From the sound of things I'm going to be trained to prep and/or make everything that they serve.  That will work out really well once I get the hang of everything, because right now I am very much a bull in a china shop.  This kitchen is tiny; I can flat-palm the ceiling without standing on my toes and I have to walk around the whole kitchen sideways or my shoulders hit everything. 


Outside of that things are good, I'm still celibate for some crazy reason.  I've been working out a lot of my problems and am finally starting to see some progress, so hopefully when I deem myself ready for a relationship I won't repeat too many of my dumb old mistakes.

It's pretty amazing what you can do in a tiny kitchen, but it sure is a pain in the ass.

My job? grrrrrr. We had this Cordon Bleu grad working part-time as a busser. They made him the chef. He has no experience as a chef, just a little bit as a sous. His new menu consists almost entirely of recipes from Bon Appetit; a contract foodservice company. I'm left with trying to teach him how to be a chef without offending him. It's a tightrope. He doesn't seem to show any leadership and the other cooks don't have much respect for him, if any. Fun, fun, fun.
