Garde Manger again. It was a terribly slow night without any exciting rushes or complicated orders. Just plate and wait. Didn’t even get a chance to make messes to clean… Yup, that slow. One of the sorbets of the day was cherry red bull… I should have been eating that, but I don’t like the cherry flavor and red bull is overall bad. Last night I was a bum, enjoying my pajamas and warm blanket. I stayed there from around 6 pm till 10 AM this morning… Skipping the lobby, but my body needed it and it just felt too good to leave. It was just me and a cup of instant coffee… and a fly. I have terrible and slow aim, but discovered that if it lands and I get close enough, I can use my disinfectant spray and disable its ability to fly… then I kill it. Hah! Only took me eight weeks to figure it out, but I’ll be leaving Germany wiser!
Yesterday I missed my car… tonight I am seriously missing my phone. I have it with me so when I hop off the plane in Atlanta I will be calling and texting till the next flight home. I miss that ability to just say hi. Not lug my laptop in the cold night, quickly and quietly walk past grumpy lobby man, and after scanning through my updates and emails wrap myself up again and walk up that hill. Oh do I miss my phone. I never thought I’d say that since it doesn’t work properly most of the time and I can never get full reception, but it is my little buddy I depend on for so much.
Tomorrow I go in a little earlier at 11 to learn how to fabricate a deer leg then onto Garde Manger after that. To those of you non-culinarians fabricate = breakdown and figure out which parts and pieces get chopped up into big or small bits…. I’ve never attacked a deer’s leg before… Not sure if I am happy to do this, but hey it is more knowledge and I still get to sleep in till 10 :) So… it is time to stop finish the last of my email business and sneak out of view of Mr Grumpy lobby man. Two weeks and 4 or 5 days till I never need to shrivel away from him again…. Another Happy thought to say, “Indeed,” to.
