Well hello there!!!!

I haven’t been on here as much.  Reasons being is that life is pretty much the same and tumblr makes my laptop run slow.  So anyways ON TO WHATS NEW!

Well nothing really lol.  Last time I posted, I said I had a job offer.  I ended up not taking it.  It was to be a sous chef at an new Mediterranean restaurant.  However the owner was being shady and to top it off some of the menu items consisted of chicken wings and frito pie„„„„„„fucking frito pie…..

After hearing the words FRITO PIE, I told them I wasn’t interested. So I’m still at the same place where I have been for 17 months.  Moved up as line cook, training of new staff and head caterer.  My plate has been getting filled and I am tired as fuck but I can honestly say I am happy with what I do. 

Also in a few months I will be leaving DFW.  It has been a long time coming.  I am eager to go back to south Texas.  But I am also sad that I will be leaving a lot of friends behind…most of which are my co workers.  I don’t want to think of the sadness of when I leave.  For now I plan to spend as much time as I can with them and get shit faced drunk!

Oh before I forget, before my posts consist of pics of stuff I have bought.  I have bought 2 new chef coats.  Actually I bought the second one a couple days ago. The first one Ive had for a few months and it looks like crap already since I have worn it  non stop.  Its my favorite!.  I bought both chef coats from www.comfortablechef.com.  They have real nice chef coats.  They are a bit pricy (paid $80 for each coat) but they are comfortable and durable.  I don;t have pics of them but you can visit their website.  It is under construction so the pics aren’t the best quality.  So check their website out and tell them John recommended you…no I don’t get a discount! lol…anyways until next time

love

peace

and good eats

I did a catering event a couple days ago with my boss.  The event was for Autism and the guest speaker was Temple Grandin.  I thought it was pretty awesome serving her food.  I only wished we could of stayed to listen to her talk.

Anyways, after I got home, my aunt had asked me if I was getting paid more for caterings.  I told her that no I don’t, unless we are just dropping food off and leaving.  After telling her that she got upset and told me that I “NEED” to start my own business.  Either a catering business or a restaurant that caters.  She even said she would talk to a friend of hers to see if he wanted to invest.

When I was in culinary school, I had to do projects where I had to come up with a menu and a name for my restaurant.  It planted a small seed into my mind about opening up my own place.  But really I don’t have a freakin clue on how to open up a restaurant.  Plus I just want to cook.  The business side of it does NOT interest me a bit.  I remember telling a friend that if….IF I was going to do this, I would have to get a general manager who would be in charge of running the whole place other than the kitchen. Let me run the kitchen and you run everything else! I don’t know if that is realistic or not.

Truth be told, I am fucking TERRIFIED opening up a place.  But this has been running through my mind the past few days.  So we shall see…..

I will be walking to get my diploma!  I am beyond excited about this event.

My graduation ceremony will be at some big church in Plano, Tx.  Why graduating culinary students are having a ceremony at a church is beyond me.  However, from the pics I have seen of it, it looks real nice.

My family will be arriving on the 25th.  I took Saturday and Sunday off of work to spend time with them and to go to my graduation.  I haven’t seen my family in almost a month.  I went home for Christmas and it was nice seeing everyone.  Especially my mom who just had surgery.  She ended up having gastric bypass surgery and is losing weight already. 

Anyways, my graduating chef coat came in and I need to pick it up from school.  It is basically the same as my class uniform, but it has blue piping on it. 

So with that said, I am just anticipating the next few weeks.  Family and graduation is what I am looking forward too.  I am also a bit sad.  I haven’t seen much of my friends from school.  I know that when I go home from graduation, I probably won’t see some of them ever again.  Granted I have them as facebook friends, but it is not the same.

anyways my peeps I don’t want this to get too long.

love

peace

and good eats

Hope this year is a great one for you all!

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and holiday season!

I came home to see family and it was great. 

TTYL

It has been awhile since I have posted on here.

I can OFFICIALLY say I am FINALLY done with culinary school!

Externships 1 & 2 are done and as of November 9th I am considered graduated!

I would of posted this sooner, but since the late part of October to just a few days ago, we have been doing A LOT of caterings at work.  So when I would get home I would just crash out. So my bad!

Anyways I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving and don’t eat too much!

I just did and let me tell you I am about to go into a food coma in 5 4 3 2 1………
