Did a bit of work today in the Advanced kitchen across the street, cleaning it up for the break. We had to take out all the trays from under the ranges, clean out all the sheet trays in the coolers, scrub the grease trap from the fryer for a half an hour, clean out the steam table, and throw away all the produce. Not all of it. I made off with maybe 30 bucks of squash, onions, fresh roma tomatoes, cauliflower, pine nuts, little baby onions, jalapenos, and red bell peppers. Can any one say stir-fry? I just bought a wok. Giant Eagle has salmon fillets for peanuts right now.

All I have left to do is the certification exam and then it's a week of relaxation. Mostly. I have to memorize that menu starting tonight and the interview is Wednesday.
