Hi-Lo.

Today's the first of the month which means that the cover count for lunch today at the restaurant is below average.  I don't know the average though, but it has that laid back atmosphere to it.

Leaving work tomorrow, I've noticed that despite eight months of being in the industry that it doesn't make me impeccable, rather it covers my flaws to a degree and adds a lot more to my arsenal of knowledge and networking, if anything.

It somewhat burns me to have a memory lapse especially on things that I do know about.  For instance, throwing trim away was a really bad idea and I didn't need a second lecture on it because it was already ingrained in my common sense, except that it didn't bother to act up during that period of time.

Yes, it was somewhat a blow to my confidence and my knowledge simultaneously.  However, life goes on and I get up and try to forget about it, and I'm only typing it out here cathartically(is that even a word?) with piss poor grammar because I'm trying to eliminate often using commas and I don't know how to use a semicolon.  FML.

Enough with the negativity, however.

I cooked today for my boss, and he said that he liked it.   I'm happy with that considering with what I know, but I have yet to cook for the General Manager (which will likely go down tomorrow and hopefully don't get killed on my last day.  I think it's gonna go down though.  I have faith on that.)

Chicken stock, shallots and garlic made a huge difference today in my recipe today compared to the one that I have down in my notebook.  That'll change.  Also, screw tenderloins and I need to learn how to sharpen my knives, or else I'm screwed.
