Hang in there. :)

KAY WEBER Wed, 03 Oct 2007 18:01:00 +0000 http://www.tastingmenu.com/2007/10/02/creating-within-restrictions/#comment-3339 I really love your column, altho’ I do miss the rest. reviews. You are so frank and open and not afraid to speak your mind, my kind of personality.
I worked, in the kitchen, in a local establishment, for eight years and everytime, I had to miss an occasional Friday or Saturday nite, I would come back to find that chaos had ensued! At least in my mind, anyway.
I would be so pissed, that some idiot had destroyed a perfectly beautiful onion, by not slicing it into uniformed slices, or chopped gorgeous mushrooms to bits, instead of slicing them properly, for salads. I found that I got over it BUT when I left for good, finally, and got my week-ends back, I certainly didn’t miss it. Took a lot of silly stress out of my life. So, in a small way, I get how you felt. Food is so important to us, presentation and uniformity mean so much. How things look, are presented, may be psychological but the mind can do strange things. We eat to live but we also eat to enjoy and for this, we are fortunate to live where we do.
I will keep reading of your adventures. I am a ‘foodie’, as I am a librarian and also an author of culinary mysteries. (‘check out’ my books on any website, Amazon, etc.) As I go to book signings, I always warn anyone who purchases by books, to make a sandwich before reading! My books are yummy and so is your column. Thanx and keep it going.
