Cinderella Shift

The other night at work, I was on the floor with a broom and dust pan, my apron tucked under my knees and a babuska on my head and I said to my manager, "I feel like Cinderella."

"You look like her," she told me.

I miss my old prep cook job where I always worked with the food.  But it wasn't enough hours to get us a house, and this job is.  Only I don't get to cook all that much, and sometimes that makes me feel sad.  Only I don't want to be sad.

So here's what I'm gonna do.  I'm going to get back to my cookbooks, which lately, I've been way too pooped to do.

Too pooped I tell ya, just too pooped. 

And on that note, it's time to get that babuska on my head and drive my butt to work.  But then tomorrow I have off so who knows ... you might just see a food post.

See you Boogerbutts later.

Signed,
Your Friend,
Cinderella

  2. You can't be Cinderella. You already have your prince. Go get them cookbooks done. I want one with lots of pictures in.

  6. If the shoe fits wear it, Cinderella.

    I don't follow this advice myself, but but you do have to follow your bliss, so it seems like the cookbooks are in that direction.

    Sorry you didn't get much snow. I know how much you love it. It's just COLD here (25 deg this morning). I already miss the warm weather!

  16. Stacy: I do enjoy the snow. Even more if I don't have to be anywhere.

    Jess: Thanks. When I first took the job I didn't realize just how little cooking I'd be doing. But ... the full-time is good.

    Just gotta focus more on home cooking.
