We have been up early every day this week so we can open the restaurant bright and early. Our day starts at 7:15 when we commute to work via golf cart. The first stop is to feed the donkeys their breakfast and then it is off to the cafe to get everything ready to open up at 8am. The first thing we do is fire up the burners under the the griddle so it can start heating up. Since it has been fairly cool in the mornings I have been building a fire in the fireplace to keep the dining room warm and cozy. Rudee gets the coffee ready while I'm building the fire and then it's time to get the kitchen ready. I have developed a system I like for when I am cooking and have my eggs, bacon, omelet fixings etc all in their specific places ready for me to grab.
Rudee got a couple of photos of me in action :-)
and here is our dining room ready for customers.
We have 2 more days left to cook breakfast this week and then will have 2 days off. We are both pretty beat since we have been working double shifts covering for the boss. Once they return (later tonight) we will be back on our regular schedule. I'll keep you posted.
A very strong resemblence to Chef Boyardee!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for more like Bobby Flay but Boyardee will have to do I guess. LOL!!
DeleteHmm..Food Network will be next. Flay will come and do an omelette throwdown :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Bring it on! Only problem is with my looks I'm more suited for radio. LOL
DeleteIt would be enjoyable to have one of your breakfasts next to that fireplace.
ReplyDeleteCurious, as workampers do you specifically look for cook and restaurant work?
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your blog. Thanks.
Larry and Samantha,
DeleteNo we really didn't think of doing cooking when we started looking. I enjoy doing breakfast more than the evening meals. Starting this week we are only cooking breakfast on the week ends and doing "normal" work camper duties Wed - Fri. and that works out good for us. We are learning alot and enjoying our various duties. Life is good!
