Well, the L train is down again. At least late nights and weekends, which is pretty much exactly half of the times that I need it. At least I can count on it to get me to work on time in the mornings (knock on wood!) I'm just going to be taking a taxi home for the next couple of nights and hopefully it will be back to normal next week. Don't even ask me how much that's costing me (Steve said he'd pay for it so I didn't have to deal with the hour long commute at midnight).
Work has been going so well, I can hardly believe it. We've been getting out early enough (11:30ish) and I've been keeping on top of everything so I don't have to go in until 10:30 or so. Tuesday, however, was another story. Because of the long weekend, all two days of it, we couldn't prep anything on Saturday for the next week, like we normally do. It just wouldn't keep well enough for two days. So tons of food got tossed and we were greeted early Tuesday morning with absolutely nothing. I essentially had to work a double since I had to get all of my soup and garnish ready for lunch service as well as dinner. It's run as a normal soup for lunch. And the warmer weather means that people actually want chilled soups, so I have to make a good amount of it.
I believe we have a party on Saturday for Henry Ford's 25th birthday. Another cook and I were trying to figure out if it was actually a decendent of Henry Ford's or just a cruel joke someone is playing on us. Since the contact name was Edsel Ford and the phone number had a Detroit area code, I am assuming that it actually is the Ford family. Whom-ever names their child after an early car model, however, should be shot.
I would like to take a moment and thank Kate and Julie for commenting. I love hearing from everyone and anyone! And Kate, your email totally made my day. I loved it!

Oh yey! I'm so excited that you got it and that everything is going well....well except for the whole L being down thing. Do they just not have the people to work it or are they doing repairs on it or something? I'm guessing that it's not totally down as you have said that it is running during the day. Nothing much new to report to you here...just that Nick graduated on Saturday!! wahoo!!! My mom and I just got back from Arizona and had a great time. I love vacations...except that whole part where you have to come back to reality. What can you do. Keep updating (you know we love to read!) and be safe. Much love from Kzoo.
Sara, I have not commented before because I had only read the first post you ever made and then promptly forgot you had a blog! Pretty sorry for an aunt to do to you, huh? Glad to hear you are doing well and enjoying NY. Rachel and I are planning to come out with your Mom and some of the other ladies in the family in October to visit you. I've never been to NYC, so it will be an education, but so was Europe! I'm sure we'll survive.
Take care and watch out for crazy cab drivers.
