R&R Part Duex

It's been yet another week since I've written and boy was it a long week.

We all have our ups and downs, our good nights and our bad nights, and quite honestly the best thing you can do is learn from it and take from it. I treat everyday as a learning experience and it just helps me gain a better understanding in our industry and help me grow stronger in my career. All and all, through the good and the bad, my executive sous chef said, its all part of learning and that's what you can do.

I can say I am the proud owner of a gnarly grease burn on my right arm. We stopped it and I learned how powerful burn spray and gel can be.

There hasn't been much to report in food wise...quite honestly we've been that busy lately and now we have round three of busy, the week of mother's day. We put on another brunch buffet but not as large in caliber as Easter  but still large.

It's been quite hard lately to get outdoors and enjoy some hiking because the weather has been off and on between cold and snowy and I find it best not to drive in the mountains when theres a large amount of cloud cover just to take photos. So the photography will have to wait another day. But I have found myself going to the library and spending my time there, reading up on places to travel too, restaurants to stage at and of course the everlasting search for scholarships.

Amongst more thoughts, are the great pondering of the future. I know I've brought this up many times before in conversations with friends, family, mentors, coworkers, and even in the blog. It is crazy to think about that next March I'll be graduating school and yes I do have some time to think and figure it out, I guess part of me wants to know now and the other part wants to know later. Thats why I have my list of goals and I'm going to start from there and just keep refining, learning and understanding my likes and dislikes.

But I'm off for the evening, hopefully soon later this week I'll be able to check out this diner that serves late nights on Thursday - Saturday and eat what is to be a pretty awesome breakfast.
