This has been on my mind a lot lately, have not been to sea in almost 18 months. I feel timing is what worries me most. I surprise myself sometimes at the schedule I have worked out, but find if I get behind, manage to fool everyone , but still feel behind at the end of the day---
When I hit the galley first thing in the morning, pull anything that is part of breakfast special, chop omelet stuff, homefries etc. These go in refer until the are on ice for service. Mix one or two batches of cookie dough (hope there are some still in jars). Pan and cook
bacon, etc. do French Toast stuff, pancake batter, ready to go--
Breakfast is to order so have any and all the veggies etc. that need to be prepped for soup, lunch, and dinner. Do this while I am serving breakfast and also start sheets of cookies--and on it goes. I actually love it--remember the first time I heard the word "multitasking"? Duh? For several years now have really learned to use my ovens--carmalizing onions for soup, mirapoix, ground
beef or cook off stew meat.
Have had a bunch of medical crap and not sure when I'll get back. Also have to add strength to my worry list, walking lots and doing shrength stuff.
And you guys do keep me inspired, thanks!
