CHEF NEEDS REST

I woke up at the left side of the bed (opposite of the right side) this morning. My headache is back again. I have been experiencing this problem during my culinary school days and now it has come back. I remember yesterday when I was preparing for a wedding buffet meals, I got so tired that my eyes are too tired to look at the meal that I am cooking. I have always been active in events like these, but this time my eyes was so tired. I should have rested rather than push my luck too much. But the wedding event was a success in fairness to the cooking skills of my chefs.

my hubby told me that I should take a leave from the restaurant and get some rest because I have been too busy for the past few weeks. My monthly schedule is fully booked with events in the restaurant and in the places where the event will happen. I already informed my assistant chef in the restaurant that she will be the one to handle today's operation since I am not around. By tomorrow, I have to be in the restaurant to prepare for another big event. I must not be absent. The celebrant told me that I have to deliver a speech, wow! I am not just a chef but a speaker as well.

Even though I am not around today, I am very confident that operation of the restaurant will go on smoothly without any problem. I trust my chefs and my cooking crew in the restaurant so much. I would not be around this long with their support and skills and especially their dedication in the cooking task assigned to them.

FOOD FOR THE FAMILY

Tonight will be a special one it is because I will be preparing a meal for everybody. My friend who is a chef in Dubai will be coming home tonight. I was told that I will be the one that will preparing the food when our friend arrives. I am planning to cook a big feast for all because I am expecting around 20 people in the house.

I plan to cook home meals and some native favorite dishes so that my friend-chef will remember the meals that she never cook abroad. 12 years in Dubai as a chef, my friend has learned many different recipes and I plan to ask her about it. According to our friend, there will be recipe books that will distributed by our friend when she arrives. That is very nice because a recipe book is all I ever wanted and I collected different kinds of recipe books. I think I have to start cooking already because in a few minutes from now, friends will be arriving.
