Three

The kitchen smelled like roasted goose all morning. I kept walking pasted the ovens to get pans or a bucket…. Every oven had at least 4 or five trays of goose -brown and crispy skinned. Someone would randomly open the door to check on them and a flood of their lusciousness would drift over to my prep area. I ended up eating a really big lunch during the break…

Today’s task (I’ve been upgraded !!!): julienne carrot packages and blanching. I took pictures... but once again… unable to transfer them!!!! Arg!!!!! Really pretty and worth the work… I think more than the peeled carrots of yesterday. It was this cute little gift box of yellow and orange carrots tied with a chive. On the plate it looked great. It was all vegetables till 1, and then I took a gloriously long nap. I probably should have taken a walk. Don’t have much time to walk around here anymore, but the sun has been hiding and I prefer either sunny walks or the opportunity to wear my fantastic red rain resistant jacket. It’s been the in between “eh” weather so I flopped onto my fantastically hard mattress… Only a few more nights on that baby!!! Oh yeah… I’m smiling!

Tonight there were 24 guests. I was able to plate the first two courses and assist here and there in the kitchen. I went from liver to chopped liver. Yay! :) The chefs are nice and trying to keep me occupied when they can, but there is really only so much that I can do in such a small kitchen. There is no way to move around freely and they have their own pattern. It’s okay. I can do it for three more days. Three more days in the kitchen to go. Three more days of Bavarino food. Three more days of trying to guess what they are talking about in the kitchen. Three more days of deciding whether or not to nap or take a walk during my break. Three more days of their cheese cake and coffee. Three more nights of coming back to my room with just milk in my fridge when all I really want is a burger. Three more days. Three. That is it. Three.

I gotta do some dunklewash!
