This is what you missed

Hey guys,

so I guess you are all a little curious about what I have been up to for the past month.  Well here is what you missed.  I am now trained on all three stations in the front kitchen and will hopefully be moving to the back soon once we get our two new hires in.  I am helping create the new jiko salad which will be on our menu this Thursday!!!!

So here's what is in it:
Red oak, frisee, arugula, and tarragon with a citrus walnut vinagrette, Chinese fried walnuts, heirloom froggy hollow pears, midnight moon goat cheese, and caramelized golden raisins.

I have to say it taste pretty good and I am sooooo excited.

Ok what else.... I have decorated the apartment for Christmas and think that instead of gifts 
I will be making personalized gingerbread men and women cakes for my friends down here so I shall post photos once they are done.  I just had some friends come down to  visit me and I gave them a tour of the new fantasyland which is phenomenal.  The whole area really immerses you inside the stories of Beauty and the beast, the little mermaid, and dumbo.  Needless to say, it is a must see for when you come down to Florida.  Finally, I might be in the Disney Christmas parade.  I went to the cast tapings and saw Nick Cannon, Maria Menonous ( I have no idea if that is how you spell it ), and Philip Philips ( who is ooooooooooooohhhh sooooo cute).  I was also standing right infront of the castle when they did the navy fly over.    I saw the candlelight processional with Neil Patrick Harris who was amazing he even sang along with the choir.  I was really hoping he would eat at Jiko again this year but he didn't =( however, we did have James Denton come in which was pretty awesome.  I got to make his appetizer and part of his entree, and his server told me that he enjoyed them very much =) ( I was totally grinning like a fool the whole time and just thinking, omg your so cute, omg I can't believe your actually here, and acting like a girl, good times.)   


Alright well I hope all of you enjoy this holiday season with your family and friends.
Love and best wishes.
Peace,
Ally

p.s. I saw the new star trek trailer and it looks epic
