11 hours and 13 minutes

Yesterday was the longest day I've spent in a kitchen thus far. I'll be honest up front, I really don't feel like writing much or trying to put any creative spin on it either. I'm tired. I have what promises to be another busy night ahead of me tonight and I volunteered to work on Sunday, which I would normally have off, to cover for one of the other cooks who requested the day off. My parents come into town on Monday and then Christmas strikes. I haven't bought so much as a single card and I sort of don't intend to. I just want to cook food for my family and relax a bit. Last week when I was off Sunday and Monday, I was bored out of my mind and couldn't wait to get back to work. I do love my job. Today, I've really got my eyes set on making it through tomorrow night. Tonight for my amuse bouche: garlic tzatziki on pita crisps. Last night was a beet and red onion salad with red wine vinaigrette on cucumber slices, topped with parmesan cheese. I seem to always come up with something that will leave your breath stanky...

Quick note: I'm beginning to hate blogger. I plan on switching to typepad or something else soon but I'm feeling too lazy at the moment to explore the idea any further.

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. My first day back at work was today and I ran across your farewell email. I'm glad to hear that you're doing what you like!

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the comments, Steve. As you can see my last posting was Dec 22nd and I haven't taken down the Christmas songs, background, and snow effect. Work has been a killer since going back because I've had to pull double duty to cover the other admin while she was out. She's back today, though! :)
Hopefully things will quiet down in the next week or so, but I doubt it. Twelve weeks of catching up is going to haunt me for a long time. :P
Hope to see you around the office. Oh, someone left Cranium: Primo Edition at my desk. I think it is yours. I brought it home with the intention of emailing you, but just haven't had the time. If it's yours, you want to arrange to meet up?
