So far so good....

Hey All,
so we are going to start from the end of this month and then go back to the beginning.
Last night guess who decided to come for dinner at Jiko, any ideas????
Ok I'll tell President Obama Vice President Biden, their family, and about 20 of their close friends.
It was soooo cool and we didn't find out until they were like literally walking through the door.
I didn't get to meet him, but I did get to see them.  And ontop of that we have been starting to get pretty busy we did 435 last night and probably did close to 450 yesterday.

So what else have been up to you might ask.  Well I have been in a grueling duel with my electric company who keeps trying to charge us extra money without informing us of when our bills are actually due.
Preparing for when my friend Joey comes down to visit me this week hopefully we will  go to Halloween nights of horror.  I decorated my apartment for Halloween and have also been trying out some of that culinary equipment I brought down with me.  So far I have made caramel apple upside down cake, pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, flammenkeuche ( a austrian pizza with roasted garlic, chicken, bacon, pinenuts, and a creamy 4 cheese sauce), 40 clove chicken, and yesterday I used my wok and made garlic fried rice with mongolian beef.  All and all I have to say not too bad considering I spend the majority of my day in the kitchen and I still have the desire to cook when I come home lol

Other than that still trying to create a routine for myself and really get into the swing of things.  The kitchen is really starting to warm up to me and I enjoy working there.  It is such a pleasure to be able to work with other individuals who know what they are making and appreciate the importance of what we do, not mention it is great to have strong cooks in a busy kitchen who can hold their own.  All I can say is everything is so far so good.

Peace,
Ally
