Possible new workstation



I don't know if this is good news or otherwise but my workstation will be moved soon cause the western banquet kitchen guys will be taking over the kitchen. Currently I have been allocated the cold room which is being used by the gardemanger occassionally for their lunch service buffet spread preperation and antipasto platters. Anyway, the room is under-utilised at the moment.


The room lacks a FUNCTIONING freezer, stoves and ovens. The pros would be a built in sink, a whiteboard (everybody loves a whiteboard), a couple of desk chillers, a 4-door chiller, a 2-door tower chiller,and an enclosed room (so I can monitor who's stealing my cookies). I will probably lose access to the walk-in freezer and chiller so I will definitely have to minimise the storage space and stop hording stuff!





Having gas stoves in an enclosed room spells risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and a dead pastry cook. I think induction stoves like this one would function well in the room. If they ever get me this, I swear I will work my socks off! Honestly! Mind you this is a cheapskate company...so...dream on Andre...

Anyway, my approach would be greatly influenced by minimalism (I'm such a fanboy of it at the moment). Whatever happens I'll definitely save some space for possible future Macbook. >.<

New work glasses




Ohh yea....black gravestone with a black coffin underneath it. Totally digging it.



That's right.... I mean business.

VPR 20LV with Carl Zeiss lenses. My frameless Lindberg will be undergoing some lense changes before heading home for safekeeping.






Pomegranate arils. The juice from these are slightly sour compared to Boiron's Grenade pomegranate's sweet juice.






Black and white. Added some frozen chocolate powder on the gelato.

I am totally knackered. But it's still a long way from burning out. Hopefully I will be able to find some energy boost tomorrow.

Looking forward to my new pair of work glasses tomorrow.
