Kicking Bird: I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life there is one that matters most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail and it is good to see.

I'd agree.

Knackered.

This job is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done, not only is the food way intricate and the language difficult, the kitchen is structured in a way that I have never seen before (and seems a bit silly and inefecient). Thusfar it has been a very humbling experience, the kind that makes you feel as a cook that you...

Things continue to improve. I now have to the best job I could possibly get here: it is at the 2 michelin starred Clos de La Violette. I am a cuisiner commis du parti poisioner. My Carte de Sejour is applied for and I am 100% legal. My friends are amazing, my wife is amazing and I just feel generally great about everything...

True story, and, yeah, the tribal arm band, yeah...thing is that the walking fashion disaster that was she was definitely straight out of the redneck suburbs and my first reaction was, I don't know, condescension really, but when her fingers glanced my neck...

The chef I work with yells a lot; never at a person, always at an object like a plate or something. It's pretty funny. You can see the picked on little brother in him.

It's gotta be thrilling for you to work in a place like that,man. It's good to hear you're being challenged and engaged.

Right on.

'Course we'll grab a beer!! I am hoping to be here all summer and through at least part of the fall...

Congratulations on the job!

Superbowl across the seas, eh. What a waste. wink I have been deathly ill since Wednesday...there is somethin' deadly going 'round these parts. Stay well!

Happy New Year all.

I've been a bit of a stranger lately, but the workday in a French kitchen has been slowly sapping the life from me. I'm looking for a new job already, reason being: I hate it when food claims to be one thing when in reality it is another. Fresh not frozen! I want seasonal produce, organic produce, and being in France...

Ok, I have calmed myself. I'm not going to die and my life is amazing. Made all the more amazing because this is a life that I have built for myself!

Merry Christmas all!

It's funny how you can go from being the happiest you've ever been to the most afraid in the space of a day. On Christmas too, how ironic.

Day before yesterday a mole appeared on my hip, last night it became sensitive and sore, today it changed color, and now has a black center.

I am so scared.
dreamergirl:
Merry Christmas
Get it checked out by a dermatologist.
Something this fast sounds like a spider bite. If a line appears from it like traveling up your arms, immediatly go to the hospital.
An old bf had this and the doctor followed the red line from his leg all the way to his heart. We barely saw it but he did.

Hapiness and Sadness are twin brothers, they always are together. Take care, man.

My American bank account is closed. I have a French bank account. I'm signing a work contract this afternoon. I am going to America the second week in January to get my visa.

I've been away six month, but now it is really happening, I live here, truly, legally. It all seems so strange, especially because it doesn't seem all that strange at all.

I...

England for Christmas is a bust, something abourt my cousin's cousin with MS. I'm quite dissapointed, much more than I expected to be.

When push comes to shove I am a family boy and I've never been alone for Christmas before, and it makes me feel sad alone and far away. Im also still dealing with my rudimentry French, I will not be hired for...

sorry, hon. when you're used to family being away can really stink. go out drinking, at least then you'll have fun! smile
scheisskopf:
Is this your first time working as a plumber? Is that something you can just pick up and jump into? Either way, this will be good for the memoirs.

Marseille, huh? Sounds cool as well.


And thanks for the birthday wishes. I needed, as you probably surmised from reading the extremely negative pre-birthday entry.

So anyway, I will call soon. In the meantime, take care of yourself and have fun, young man.

Yes. Yes. And yes. Tres jealous. I am so happy you posted all those photos, though. It brings back lots of fond memories. I hope your trip continues to be amazing! Find a good culinary school for me, I think that is what I want to do next...
bunny:
Yup. Playing acoustic this time around. I am using my ex-boyfs ex-grilfs guitar at the mo'. One day I might actually get my own guitar and another camera...

I am no longer a vegetarian. However, I am only eating fish and grass-fed beef, (in desperate need of the iron). I wanted to go to school just to incorporate what I have learned nutrition-wise into daily life. The thing that scares me about jumping into FS is that I am a terribly SLOW cook/prep.
