time is flying...
Zomg somebody go catch it i have decided to use absolutely no punctuation in this entry have fun reading it losers
Hey hey kids time to get back into the blogging - had a busy week last week got an interview at Mitchel's Steakhouse which went really well gonna be starting there week after spring break really looking forward to it gotta say how shocked i was at how upscale the place is sure gonna be different
seems like it was just yesterday that i started working at Pattycake and now this is my last week it sure snuck up on me i finally got things down in there and started to settle in more but i guess this is a good thing keeps me moving i guess
talk about risk? (ya, i used some punctuation, sue me) Mitchel's is a damn nice place steaks running at $160 wine at $270 (of course its not all like that, but still) i think that the margin for error here is a lot smaller then at other places - plus if i mess it up with these people i will make a lot of people look bad, only got this place because a former student worked with the head chef at the restaurant - amy contacted him - who then contacted the chef so i REALLY cant let anyone down here gotta give it my all
now this isnt me being nervous or anything i dont want to mess anything up but its gonna push me its motivation to be better I am really looking forward to this its going to be a different experience - from what i hear i will be doing a bit of everything - food prep starting on sauces etc then moving onto line cooking etc.
gotta say though gonna miss pattycake its a really cool place filled with nice people i think that working there definitely gave me a unique experience - not too many vegan places
well off to go waste more time >.>

4th quarter walkabout
So... all you faithful readers should know by now that I have an interest in the culinary arts, and as such I am attending walkabout sites that correspond with my interests, e.g. Pattycake. Well, for my fourth quarter walkabout I plan to move on - doing more restaurant work than bakery. I hopefully will be able to intern at Cap City Diner - kind of a big thing. I hear that this is a pretty respectable establishment, and as such, I will have to look good and do well to make them look good and actually want me there. I know that there is going to be a lot of hard work - probably more than at Pattycake right now just because of the difference in the type of establishment. Restaurants need ya to get your job done and have it done right the first time - there are customers waiting (or for prior food prep).
I think that there will be more demanded of me if I can actually get into this restaurant - which is something I actually look forward to. I like having something to push for - some way to improve myself. Not only this, but working there would further increase my skill set and experience in cooking. I have worked at a restaurant before - in my junior year, but it was a pretty small place, I look forward to possibly working at a bigger place. Thanks for listening all you cool cats... drop me a line sometime and keep on reading.

DOOM!
Been feeling rather lethargic as of late - dunno what it is. I haven't really been motivated to do much, even going to site and cooking - two things I really enjoy doing, seem to be a drag. It might be that I just don't have much motivation to get something done - no big goal in front of me to aim for - right now its just a bit monotonous. One thing that I have to say is looking up though is while at site I think that I am enjoying it a lot more - it usually takes me a while to get comfortable with new people (I can work with people etc. just not really myself and can't open up to them). Though things are looking up - weather is warming up a bit (I can't stand the cold), usually brings my spirits up - which should help me with my walkabout actually (although I will have to learn how to compensate for temperature in the shop - damn fickle ingredients!) -- Short post - but don't really feel like writing atm, instead I shall entertain you with interpretive dance!
