Interesting day I had today. I went to work for a day at the restaurant my parents own. I haven't worked here in a long time.
My job was simple. Make breakfast and lunch meals til 1:30. Simple fast food cook. Nothing great but not so bad either. I would prefer more healthy foods myself but this is one way to gain extra cash.
I was replacing my mother for that time while she was away in another town and I was happy to do so. I like kitchen work, I enjoy hearing people tell me if they enjoyed their food and it also keeps me busy and gets me out of the same old, same old.
Didn't think I would miss the deep fryers (actually I don't) and this cutting space and handy counter fridge. I like the spacious prep table they have. The simple joy of putting a plate together to make it look nice and appetizing. Wish I could show pics of them but when the orders come in there is no time to whip out the phone for pictures. And with the cleaning and the dishes, and all that prep to do, there is very little time to get more than I did. So here is a picture of bacon!
People really like their bacon for breakfast. And to think, some plates came back empty, all eaten except some slices of strawberry. Sigh
The cool thing about working in the kitchen is that you get all the food to be really creative, although this time was not the case as I was there for only a half day. And I can definitely say the worse thing is well ... 2 things actually; the heat when it's already crazy hot outside and coming out smelling like a french fry. Yummy... Right? 🤮
Nothing like a hot shower to fix that, except I couldn't say the same thing for the clothing. You wouldn't want to wear your best work clothes as it's really hard to get the grease smell out.
The rest of the day was, once again, about cleaning and rearranging furniture, trying to get the most of the space we have.
Now I am just pooped, I'm finished for the day and it's time for bed, please!
Have a good night everyone!
