STRESS AND TIRED

I just got home this evening from the daily restaurant operation. This day was so freaking busy for as chef like me. I have to prepare 20 dishes in one day and not just that, I received 100 orders of my banana cake with cheese on top. I am so stress really. My assistant chef already took several orders for me that she saw that I am already stressed and out. I guess I have to make a leave tomorrow but I cannot. It's Friday and I am expecting many diners inside my restaurant. I never expected that my banana cake with cheese on top will be a huge success to my customers. I just started baking this cake last week after my mother gave me the recipe. But I still glad that my customers liked my banana cake with cheese on top for I have to bake more of this cake in the coming days.

CHEF BUSY AS A BEE

I am in the culinary school right now. the dean called me this morning and told me there is going to be an emergency meeting regarding the upcoming school cooking contest. As scheduled, the cooking contest will be next week and the dean wanted the cooking contest to be canceled because there is a big even coming. It is the chef Meet and that is more important.

I already called the chefs that will be the judges of the cooking contest that it will be more in the third week of August and all of them agreed for the postponement of the event. Now the dean wanted to focus on the Chefs Meet next week because we will be going to be the host for the event. Approximately around 200 chefs will be visiting and we need to make the preparations immediately. It going to be a long weekend for me. This chef is busy as a bee.

A NEW PLACE IN TOWN

A chef friend called me this morning and told me that there is a new restaurant that has opened just the other week. My friend invited me to the place ad check the dishes that are prepared and served in the restaurant. They say that the new place prepared Italian cuisines and European dishes. I confirmed the invite and we will be going tonight because the restaurant opens around 5:30 pm. I also have to make sure that the cooking equipment in the restaurant is operating well before I can go there.

I wanted to taste the dishes prepared there that is why I said yes to my friend. I was also told that the owner of the restaurant was a close friend in the culinary school who went abroad for further studies. Well, I guess I have an appointment tonight. Its gonna be a fine dining of Italian and European cuisines for tonight. I am already dying to be on the restaurant since I like Italian Cuisines.

KITCHEN TOOLS

I am still working on the gas range in the kitchen of my restaurant. Good thing I have some kitchen tools in the restaurant that I can use immediately. Last week the range broke down. My assistant chef was worried because there were many orders and the cooking range was broke. When I acquired the range, I was trained by the supplier on how to repair the equipment in case it broke down. I already verified the problem and saw it. I am still figuring out on how the arrange the fire burner. But I know I can fix the problem. I am not a chef for nothing. I am reading the manual of the cooking equipment. I already contacted the supplier of the equipment and they will arrive this week. I just wish this cooking equipment will be okay because there are many cooking orders in the restaurant and the machine is a big help in the kitchen.
