entering my last week

One more work week left in Lyon.

I am so excited yet sadened at the same time as well though. Some of the guys I am really going to miss, since we've had so much fun. I am going to miss getting screamed at in french (even though I dont uderstand what they are screaming at me about). But something I realized though, that everything I got screamed at about while here, had nothign to do with my cooking skills, they were about the amount of packages I opened to cook the Plat De Jour on a monday for example. I have learned so much here I dont think I could put a dollar number to it. The biggest thing I have learned is how to become organized with myself that when it comes to service everything goes tak tak tak, as my chef calls it. (tak tak tak is the sound a knife makes on a cutting board..haha) I have had soem great laughs and so many conversations I was apart of without understanding a word of it, yet somehow getting the job done...beats me...
anyways as the week goes on I'll write more. But I am onto bigger and better (in their own way) things.

An addition to the other days post...before I took the pictures with my chef, Chef lacoombe asked me why I am leaving, so I told him why adn where I'm going. I told him not many people understand, so he stopped me short and told me, he was proud of me for doing what I am doing, and I am very right for going to work on farms and such to learn farming.

Just an after thought.

ok good night everyone

  1. That is very good that you feel you have learned a lot.

    After all that was the purpose of this trip.

    We all miss you and look forward to when you come back. IN the meantime, learn and enjoy as this is a once in a lifetime experience.
