3/14 9-6

I live about six minutes away from my work, so I rise at 8:40, enough time to cuddle and love my Lily. I get there around 8:58. Across the street, parked in front of Miron's Steak House, a long, big, white, semi. Truck day. 3 boxes of brussel, 5 of assorted mushrooms, 1 container of micro cilantro, 1 container of blood leaves, 1 box of lime, 1 box of lemons, and 1 box of oranges. I'm a prep cook, so I started my tasks for the day. I prepped a lot of fucking potatos. And I mean, A LOT. Cut them hotdog style, into 4 wedges, coat them in salt and pepper. Made mustard, I hate mustard. Such an interesting thought. How do I know if this is good? I don't like it at all, so how do I even KNOW it's good? Anyways . . pre cooked some steaks, got very smokey. Cut my hand, ouch. Today we opened at 4:00, so I got to work some service. Lot of charcuterie boards, my favorite things to make. We had to make twenty on the fly, we made so many before open . . Sink pipe busted, stewards had to fix it on the fly. After work I tried applying to McAdoo's again. Fancy fish restaurant. I love fish. I'll work with it more someday. That was all the things worth mentioning. I'll be better at telling all of you things like this, give me time. I'm working on a book, it's better than this I swear.

Cook more!

Yesterday I made a delicious chicken piccata and shared it with my roommates and it was a really special moment! It was delicious and I made it completely from scratch. I think that the art of cooking is so important, once you really get a hand of it you can prepare delicious healthy whole foods efficiently cheaply and sustainably! For me cooking is my hobby and one of my passions so I can understand how taking a leap into it can be hard but I always say cook more and your community will tighten around you. It’s worth the effort! :))))

Cooking in general

One of my favorite activities to do is cooking. I rarely eat out, maybe because I grew up in a African household where the question of eating out would be met with “What about the food you have in your fridge?” This year specifically where all of us were forced to stay inside, has pushed me to explore my love for cooking even more. Never with a set menu (unless my cravings were elevated), I would leave the task of creating a meal as I opened the fridge. Wonderfully guided along by weekly food boxes from my local community garden, I would just try and combine new and old flavors to create a wonderful lunch or dinner. Paired with a nice glass of natty wine (Gamay Gang). Enjoy the process!

365 Days

In the course of 365, I . . . - Started dating my current girlfriend - Became a manager in training at a fast food restaurant - Lost my great grandfather - Started smoking cigarettes again - Became 18 - Left previously mentioned fast food restaurant - Moved out from home to live with my girlfriend - Tried to stop smoking, emphasis on tried - Realized I was going to become a dropout - Worked at a family owned barbecue place - Had multiple breakdowns over how I felt stuck, believing my life is over - Started working at a food truck as a line cook, rekindling my love for cooking - Left that food truck to work for a new restaurant - Helped BUILD AND MOVE IN FURNITURE FOR MONTHS - Waited, and waited, and waited for work - Started cooking again - Restaurant FINALLY(!) opened, so started work - Panic over my age and lack of experience - Realize everyone has to start somewhere, they weren't just born at 30 and were immediately a great cook - Got something on the menu and people like it - Got my first GOOD GOOD check, making me realize it's my last year being broke Of course this isn't everything, but to me it's everything worthwhile/worth mentioning. This was a picture from a couple days ago, my love goes to school for psychology and I walk around the campus playing Pokemon Go/reading/listening to music. A tree. A billion little things, doing one gigantic thing. Living.

Fellow male here

Honestly I think it's because we do not blow our noses, which leads us into phlegm, which then leads us into needing to get rid of it. It's disgusting, I'll always run to a bathroom or do it in a napkin . . . BUT IN PUBLIC ?!?! WHERE IS THE CLASS !!!! THE DECENCY !!!! Men . . . Blegh . . .
