Time Flies

I finally had to turn the heat on last night for the first time this season. I'm going to have to find some kind of insulating seal to put over the air conditioners soon. It seems so much colder this October than last October. I remember being at a Halloween party and sweltering in my costume (just a chef's uniform, nothing thick or bulky).

We got a lot done at tech day, though. There was an interviewer there from The Globe who talked to many of us. I can't believe how fast this show is coming up. I'm getting excited!

Soup Fail

If I had known that this potato soup had jiggly slabs of bacon fat in it, I would have picked something else. When the description included bacon, I imagined bacon bits or crumbled crisp bacon, not strips of flaccid fat cut up and thrown into the soup undercooked. And in the creamy, opaque soup, you can't see them to avoid them. I keep having to remove them from my mouth with my fingers, which is a nasty way to eat.

Surprisingly, this wasn't Cafe Horrible, but the usually trustworthy Au Bon. That's a first.
