didnt finish training day until quarter past midnight last night..didnt drop off to sleep till gone 130 cos head was buzzin..got up at 1105 this morning(day off) feeling totally whacked..done about 50 hours since sunday so far, which I havnt done in a while...but the feeling is great..In 1978 as a 17 year old I was a Junior stoker at sea for the first time and nicknamed "Spider"(surname thing).As a 52 year old I am technically the "junior" member of the team in The Sailmaker kitchen and because of 2 Pauls in the kitchen I am now called "Spider" again.The Marstons Training Team have been awesome..Since Sunday I have learnt how to do some starters..practiced on a carvery(surprised myself)..cooked steak on the griddle..and even learnt how to do an egg properly.been on service prep(lots of prep..LOTS)..made coleslaw..plated puddings(lots of puddings lol) and cleaned pots,pans,plates,bowls and just about everything else that can be cleaned..but the greatest thing is being part of a team and loving what I am doing..Havnt felt this way since I left the Navy..Now have my Chef Developement Programme book and have every intention of doing it..Have 3 days training left before we open Monday..Lock and Load..
