New Challenges in life are Challenging? Not having to work for a week has set me back..i think. I'm used to working till 10PM usually later then waking up at a decent time, let's say like 8 and repeating the process day in and day out. Last week all i did was relax and basically marinate in my computer chair as i tweaked out on the most ridiculous addicting game in the world. Now i have school everday pretty much at 7am for 6 hours, a short 1 hour break in between then go into work from 3pm to 10/11pm. Am i complaining? fuck no. I just need to get myself more adjusted to it. I've done this shit before. Though i was almost late for school today....
Hows school? Fun of course, aside from falling asleep well...almost falling asleep to lectures about gluten, bread and protein content, it was fun. Made some Banana Bread Muffins, measured out some dough and basically had fun. Well...i think it was fun. Baking is pretty interesting when you break it down to the science. Learning about protein builds and gluten and words that i have no idea how to pronounce are kinda fun. Learning "chemistry" i guess you could say. Makes me think about my roots back when i wanted to be a molecular gastromy geek. I think that ship has sailed far away for me. Anyways, i think when it comes to baking i'm actually really interested in doing...different baking. Learning about healthy baking and alternatives like, gluten free, using agave ipo Sugar, ETC. That's fun, that's different. And its creative!
After eating the baguette i made yesterday and had some thoughts...i thought about it and realized theres really no good bread shop. Yeah there Saints, or Fendu or local bakeries but like one that specializes in a fucking good bread, thats something we really don't have. I guess you could blame it on the stupid humidity we have here but i'm sure theres a way to pass it. It was funny, i used to always buy french bread from Safeway when it was so warm and hot and now i realize that's really not good bread. Good French bread, crispy and dry on the outside and the inside is still soft and delicious. Mmm....
Anyways, work....why else would i say FUCK DESSERTS as my title. I enjoy my new job so far, its fun, i'm learning quick and except for the occasional frontal male nudity, my coworkers are cool people. But man, fuck desserts.... Appetizers, salads all that aren't so bad but desserts are just a pain in the ass. Dealing with a drop of this sauce to hold something in place, 50 million different garnishes and sorbet/icecream that i can barely scoop out being placed on a freaking hot piece of cake that i need to make pretty without it melting is just frustrating sometimes. I never really had to do desserts before and now i'm like QQQQ to the max. I thought it was just getting nuts and i'm not talking about the dessert nuts. Tables after tables, and it wasn't just 1 a table! It was like 4 for this table, 2 for that table, 6 for this table 7 for that one. All non stop back to back. I can't wait for next week though, when i'm on my own i guess...if i'm on my own. It'd be more fun so i can finally unleash the beast.
Of course this last paragraph will talk about one of my favorite lunch trucks and well freaking favorite place to eat...Da ALA CART! It's seriously probably the smallest lunch wagon on this island but he just makes such great food. Kushiyaki, basically food on sticks and grilled to perfection. And when i mean perfection, i mean perfection. So good...I'm not gonna lie, i went for lunch and dinner : )
Well, thats enough..Its bed time.. till we meet again my bloggga
