Work Sucked

Yesterday was filled with a series of errors and miscommunications that all equaled a suckin' muchin' day.

But I still want to go back today because I love cooking.

Add to it, there's something thrilling about when things go smooth on the line, and everyone is communicating.

It just clicks.

And now I understand why professional cooks in Hell's Kitchen get confused and make stupid mistakes.

While I'm a long way from Hell's Kitchen, I have a better understanding of how kitchens work and more important, how I work within them.

Time to grab my cleaver and get back on the line.

  1. Sometimes, girl, stuff happens no matter where you work.

    (And the Swedish Chef is running through my head. "Bork, bork, bork!")

  4. Sorry your day sucked, but I am totally laughing at the Swedish chief picture and your line about grabbing the cleaver and heading back to work...conjures images of chasing chickens, which of course is hilarious.
