well we'll see how long this entry gets, i am supposed to be done working at 4:30. its 4:35 right now. i am going to write this entry until its time to leave (aka whenever the owners get here) or until i am done. which ever happens first.
today was a busy day at the grind. 5 minutes ago was the first time since i got here at 9 in the morning that there is no one here but me. oddly the slowest time was 11:30-1 when sophie was here to help. there are always two people for the lunch shift.
other than that it was a good flow this morning and busy all afternoon. i almost ran out of mugs for a little bit. don't worry though i am really good and fast at washing dishes.
i am playing a lot of online scrabble now... i think 10 games right now finished 3 already. won all three. statistically my best word was jerries but i think my best word was codeine.
miss no whipped cream was just here. can you guess why i call her that. its because she alwyas gets a white chocolate mocha. every time she is in here, with no whipped cream. when she walks up to the counter i ask "white chocolate mocha?" and she says "no whipped cream" i think it should be implied that if i remember she is getting a white chocolate mocha that i remember its no whipped cream... come on no whipped cream lady.
so who knows good things i can make with lots of bread. i get free bread from work whenever the new bread comes in. the old stuff is still good. anything other than toast and sandwiches for me to make with it?
the last three times the owners were supposed to come and relieve me at 4:30 they came in at 4:45, 5:00. and 5:15. i wonder if they are going to wait until 5:30 today. just to keep the pattern going.
well i think thats all i've got for today. so i am going to end with the question i have been asking myself a lot lately...
are the noodles really done, or am i just sick of standing here making sure they don't boil over?
French toast, croutons, bread pudding, Texas garlic toast, mini pizzas (sauce, toppings, and cheese on toasted bread), paninis, and some egg bakes require bread. I hope that is enough suggestions.
ReplyDeleteHmm, to answer your question about noodles.I just learned over weekend (not kidding about timing!) that if you take a pasta out of the boiling water and throw it to wall.If it sticks. It means it's done.If it doesn't, it means it's not done. (smile)Then use either butter or vegetable or olive oil to ensure that the noodles won't stick.
ReplyDeleteI know...I am a little addicted to Scrabulous.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where you got your skills at washing dishes? Way to go on remember what people order on a daily basis...do you remember a lot of the daily customers? I know it comes with time, but i have enough problems remembering peoples names let alone what they would order. I suppose after hearing no whipped cream day after day it may stick after a while. Nice work though...i applaud your efforts.

ReplyDeleteI think I would have fun working with you at the coffee place. I bet we could even write a sitcom about the daily happenings. I would be rather insulted by the no whip cream lady's lack of faith in your memory as well. I mean...come on....does she know who you are? I was going to recommend making french toast with the old bread, but Caroline beat me to it. I would also say that you could fondu with the bread. Today I met a lady with five boys. It made me think of your family. I wanted to ask her if the littlest one was named Thomas. Maybe next time. Have a coffee-licious day! ~me
