CHEF IS ON THE ROAD TO TRAVEL

There is a convention of chefs that will be held in the national region area. This is an annual event of chefs that must be attended because there are so many things that will be given during the convention. I attended the convention last year and I swear to come to the following year's convention. The venue of the convention is not the regular place like a hotel. It is situated in the mountain peek and the only way to get there is by car. In order to get there, I needed to drive almost 3 hours before to reach the place. I am quite familiar with the place because I was a chef in the mountain resort once and the place is very nice and ideal for a convention to happen.

I already made the adjustments and gave the instructions to my chefs while I am away and on the road. I also called my insurance agent to get me a short term insurance since I will be traveling using my vehicle. I want to be safe while I am on the road. Road accidents can happen and I want to be protected that is why I got an insurance for me and my car. The convention organizers told me that I needed to bring some reading materials and notes because there will be a recipe sharing among chefs that will participate in the convention. My things are already packed and ready to go to the convention site. I just hope that I am not forgetting anything because going there is difficult and time consuming.

CHEF HOSPITAL ADMISSION

This morning in the restaurant, my assistant chef told me that I have a high temperature. She was right because I have a flu right now and still I went to the restaurant for my cooking job in the kitchen and it is hard to leave the restaurant operation just to the assistant chef. But I think it would be best to leave the cooking task to her because having a flu and cooking is not good for chefs and the restaurant as well.

After in the restaurant, I went to the hospital to check for my condition and if I could still do my culinary job as a chef in the restaurant. The doctor said that I have to take a rest in the cooking because I am not feeling well. I needed to rest. After the check up, I went back to the restaurant and said my reminders to them. I also left my recipe books for references in the kitchen. I don't want to leave a scattered menu while I am resting at home. If worst comes to worst, chef will be admitted in the hospital for faster recuperation.

The restaurant menu is already fix for the week. I needed to rest for 2 days and that is why I instructed my assistant chef to prepare the following dishes while I am not around. The recipe books are also there. I called up the culinary school and told them that I won't be coming on my first day as fondant cake making professor because I am sick and I am happy that they understood me well.

FONDANT CAKE MAKING ACCEPTED

This morning I got a call from the culinary school asking me if I can teach fondant cake making because there are few chefs that can teach the culinary students on how to make a fondant cake. I now how to make a fondant cake and it is easy. I immediately accepted the offer of the culinary school to teach fondant cake making in the culinary school. I was told that by the end of the month, I have to go the school every Fridays to teach the students of the fondant cake making.

Making a fondant cake is really simple and a chef must know how to design the cake to make it fondant cake. Fondant cake is the best cake for weddings because it really looks glamorous and best for the vow. In my career as a chef, I was able to make around 20 fondant cakes in my career. This cake is usually made for weddings and for meetings. My first time to make a fondant cake was during a baking contest and cake decorations. We were about 20 chefs competing in the contest, all of them were my friends and classmates in the culinary school.

Since I will be back again in the culinary school to teach fondant cake making to students, I might as well review my notes because I don't want to teach them wrong in making fondant cake. Fondant cake making is a one semester course in the culinary school and I should really do well and teach the young chefs how to make a fondant cake.

CHEF'S NEW CAR

I always drive from my house to the restaurant. It is already just normal for a chef to be driving and my car is an old one. This chef is using a Kia Cd-5 model car. I know that it is kind of out dated with the new models of vehicles that are running in the streets. During the chef meeting last Sunday, my long time car broke down along the street. Luckily, my chef friend was there to assist me in my ordeal in the road. Buying a new car is easy for a chef like me. It is a fact that chefs earn big because we are considered skilled workers. Enough of the history and lets go down to the topic. My car needs a substitution. I need a car right now.

The mechanic told me that my car will be done by the end of the week and I have to use the services of the public transport to transport me from my home to my office-restaurant. Many of my chef friends told me that I should get a new one and sell my old car. I am currently considering that idea because I don't want to experience another problem with my old car. This chef needs a new car immediately. Hopefully when the car is already fix, I will immediately display it in front of the restaurant and with the words: chef's car for sale".
