Creme brulee

One time my dad and I went out to eat at a nice restaurant and he ordered crème brûlée at the end of dinner and I was OBSESSED. And then for years after he would order crème brûlée at all his important work dinners and bring it home for me in a little to go box and I didn’t have the heart to tell him I kinda grew out of it and it was too sweet for me now, so I just ate it anyways. it was definitely his way of showing love!

Creme brulêe

Specifically from Café des Deux Moulins in Montmartre or this one specific pistachio creme brulêe mouse and I had at Malmaison in Manchester in 2020. The best ones are in a wide dish with a good ratio of brulêe to creme

Lunch dessert

I love that the French are so dedicated to their dessert ritual that lunch menus come with dessert. As if to say the mid day meal is no less deserving of a celebratory treat and something sweet. My sweet crepe with sugar and yuzu butter from today.

365 Days

In the course of 365, I . . . - Started dating my current girlfriend - Became a manager in training at a fast food restaurant - Lost my great grandfather - Started smoking cigarettes again - Became 18 - Left previously mentioned fast food restaurant - Moved out from home to live with my girlfriend - Tried to stop smoking, emphasis on tried - Realized I was going to become a dropout - Worked at a family owned barbecue place - Had multiple breakdowns over how I felt stuck, believing my life is over - Started working at a food truck as a line cook, rekindling my love for cooking - Left that food truck to work for a new restaurant - Helped BUILD AND MOVE IN FURNITURE FOR MONTHS - Waited, and waited, and waited for work - Started cooking again - Restaurant FINALLY(!) opened, so started work - Panic over my age and lack of experience - Realize everyone has to start somewhere, they weren't just born at 30 and were immediately a great cook - Got something on the menu and people like it - Got my first GOOD GOOD check, making me realize it's my last year being broke Of course this isn't everything, but to me it's everything worthwhile/worth mentioning. This was a picture from a couple days ago, my love goes to school for psychology and I walk around the campus playing Pokemon Go/reading/listening to music. A tree. A billion little things, doing one gigantic thing. Living.

3/14 9-6

I live about six minutes away from my work, so I rise at 8:40, enough time to cuddle and love my Lily. I get there around 8:58. Across the street, parked in front of Miron's Steak House, a long, big, white, semi. Truck day. 3 boxes of brussel, 5 of assorted mushrooms, 1 container of micro cilantro, 1 container of blood leaves, 1 box of lime, 1 box of lemons, and 1 box of oranges. I'm a prep cook, so I started my tasks for the day. I prepped a lot of fucking potatos. And I mean, A LOT. Cut them hotdog style, into 4 wedges, coat them in salt and pepper. Made mustard, I hate mustard. Such an interesting thought. How do I know if this is good? I don't like it at all, so how do I even KNOW it's good? Anyways . . pre cooked some steaks, got very smokey. Cut my hand, ouch. Today we opened at 4:00, so I got to work some service. Lot of charcuterie boards, my favorite things to make. We had to make twenty on the fly, we made so many before open . . Sink pipe busted, stewards had to fix it on the fly. After work I tried applying to McAdoo's again. Fancy fish restaurant. I love fish. I'll work with it more someday. That was all the things worth mentioning. I'll be better at telling all of you things like this, give me time. I'm working on a book, it's better than this I swear.

Fellow male here

Honestly I think it's because we do not blow our noses, which leads us into phlegm, which then leads us into needing to get rid of it. It's disgusting, I'll always run to a bathroom or do it in a napkin . . . BUT IN PUBLIC ?!?! WHERE IS THE CLASS !!!! THE DECENCY !!!! Men . . . Blegh . . .
