It's my birthday and I'm sorta depressed. Don't know why. They are either good or bad and I can never predict how they are going to be. Two of my cooks called in sick tonight so I had to work my ass off. I took a kundalini yoga class plus taught my class today so I am beat. Maybe a good nights sleep will change...

Took a short trip to LA this weekend to see Manchester United play Club America at the Colusium in an exhibitions game. I think it is only the second or third professional sports event I have been to in my life. I was in the worst traffic jam of my life getting there so I arrived at half time. That sucked. It was easy gettin...

I taught my first yoga class today. It was at work. I'm offering free classes here as community service to complete my certification. At the scheduled time there was nobody there and I thought "great, this is how it's gonna be huh?" Then four people showed up. One of my cooks and three girls who speak NO english. It was quite an experience. I rushed...

Nice! I only wish I had good news, too. I got fired today. It was kind of a relief, though.
So, I got a new tattoo last week. A big ol' nautical star on my forearm. I love it. Got another appointment in two weeks for some Vegas style pinup in a martini glass sorta than. I just got back from my yoga teacher training and it was great but exhausting. Also got to hang out with a couple of old friends in Hermosa beach....

Where is Manchester United playing in LA and against who?
schleprock:
You are right. Beckam probably won't be playing. It will probably be lots of fun but I hate going to the colosium. Hopefully it's a night game.
Ok, so most of my jounal entries are about food. Today I went to Bradly Ogdens new restaurant in Ceasars Palace for lunch. It was good for lunch but didn't exactly bowl me over. My date asked for some tomato slices and they said "sorry, they're not in season." Since he is all about what is in season I could understand. I don't know if...

I just looked there, on their website, and I don't think X is playing Vegas. You could always drive to San Diego, though.

Went to the Eiffel Tower Restaurant in the Paris hotel last night and had yet another one of the best meals of my life. They served four amuse bouches before they brought our first course. Escargot, then asparagus soup with fried tarragon and a crawfish cake. Then Tournados Rossini with truffle sauce and a chocolate souffle for dessert. I had a gift certificate that helped...

I got another job today. It doesn't start until the fall. I'm gonna be a yoga instructor at UNLV. Just one beginners class but I'm stoked. Not quitting my night job of course. It's more like a hobby, but I love it and am pretty excited.
cocinero:
Glad you like Cheftalk; I've been hanging out there for almost 4 years now. I was at epicurious before that, too.
Congrats on the teaching gig!

I bought Anthony Bourdains Bobby Gold Stories and read it all that day. Didn't savor it. Just gulped it down like a pint of Ben and Jerry's. Been staring at it for two days wishing there was more, so I gave it to a friend today who is also a Bourdain fan who's cat just died to hopefully cheer her up. Got my ass put...

Same thing happened to me Monday night on broiler. Lots of big tables for some bizaare reason. The guy that taught me everything I know about how to run a kitchen came in with his wife and kid and I never got a break in the action to talk to them. Nobody died here, either, though (although I'm pretty sure one whiny waiter never knew how close he came to buying it).
