New Project!

In which I will post a photo a day, according to the above list. This seemed like a fun way to share bits of my life. Today's coming up right after this!

Four.

The number of days left until July, one of my favorite months.

The many places I have lived in the last year.

The number of different ice cream cartons I am contributing here: (don't judge us!)

There are twelve in all, in case you were wondering. For five girls. Ha.


The date of my second Favorite Holiday:

(after Christmas.)

The number of stations on the line that I am working this week: Pantry(Salads), Broiler, Bar Apps, and Middle.

How is your week going?

Her Royal Highness...

...Can't help but giggle as she passes her husband, Duke of Edinburgh, in full uniform. You go girl, I'd be laughing, too.

Hello Summer!

Its (un)officially here. Warm weather, and long sun-soaked days. Even the nights are nice.
I don't have enough time to do a good update, so I'll just share whats been on my mind pretty much none-stop the last few weeks: summertime food and vintage swimsuits. Yup.

While nothing can come close/compare to the chicken and steak that my dad makes on the grill, these dishes looked pretty amazing to me:

Heirloom Tomato Tart

Popsicle time

 

Peach and Tomato Salad

 

Cherry Tart

And vintage swimwear. Sigh. Why don't we still dress this way? WHY?

 Off to the beach...

Before Blogging. And Email.

There was this. (photo via here)

Did you ever have a pen pall? Do you still write letters?
I do, although my reply's are few and far between I am afraid.

Señorita

Most of the time at work I am the only girl in the kitchen. There are two others, but they are both Pastry, and I am in what we call Savory. I'm not complaining though. It's quite fun. All of the guys have been very welcoming and nice to me. Case and Point:

The other day I was getting my cutting board - its a 4 1/2 ft by 1 ft. monster that attaches to my station on the line- from the dish room and noticed as I was walking out that it was still dirty. Hmm.
I metntioned it to one of the guys that was prepping food, and he grabbed it and marched it back in the dishroom, and started talking to one of the dishwashers. It was all in Spanish so I'm only guessing what went down, but I'm pretty sure it was something like this:

Guy:"Why does this lovely plastic cutting board have paper stuck to it and food stains?"

Dishwasher: "I saw them clean it the other night, do you need it now? What's it for?"

And then, the part that I did understand:

Guy:"Something something something la Señorita!"

Dishwasher:"Ah! la Señorita!"

He then grabbed it and washed it right away. No more questions where needed.

 My main name here is Señorita. For real.

Cast Iron U.S.A.

Turns out there's a gal in Madison, WI making cast iron skillets in the shape of your state. Kinda cool, huh?

It made me think of two things. Tangled, and our old United State's place mat. Ahh I miss those things.

Here's more info on these cool pans.

(Isn't Wisconsin cute?)
