im a camp cook

i was thinking today, that i am thankful i have chosen this path to be a camp cook. it really has been a long time that i have enjoyed my job, basically enjoyed cooking , except for family and friends. back in 2000-06 when i was chef of the windsor house i had a lot of fun cooking and trying differnt thinks and i really loved that job and jay was great. i got to cook pretty much what i wanted and how i wanted. but since then, my places of work were not so stellar. i really was in a slump, cooking wise, i was even thinking about getting out. but really this camp i think is helping me believe again.
here i make the menu i oprder the food i cook the food and myh customers are happy and easy to please.  its very relaxed atmosphere, i take my time acook relly great meals for these people,  to night we had lamb chops and halibut,  and i would have no problem serving either  at any restaurant i have worked at. it may be served buffet , steam line style but all in all its good home cookking.  its like my own little restaurant and i have very happy regulars who come back every day.  my last placement at gooselake, was not as fun  , a great experience but the social atmosphere and the job its self is night and day. i am glad i stuck it out and got to come here,  thank you Izok.  i am a camp cook  and damn proud of it.  
 tommorow for lunch i am making super duper pork burritos and sweet and sour beef ribs,  dinner is chicken and ribs  bbq style..
 today was order day and im tired as can be, as we had just under 4000 pounds of grocery come in. my freezers and fridges are full. as we only get groceries once a week. so come tuesday wedneday we will strat running out of lettuce and other fresh produce thats when  the frozen veg etc comes handy.
i miss Anne and Eric so much. and i can not wait to see them. and thats the only thing that sucks right now about this job.  the hardest thing about this job is the time away. the rest is gravy.... and today i like it......

 these are the sleeping quarters, i  am in a large one of these that is sectioned off. my kitchen and dining room are also in a large one of these.
below, this is my buddy, a siksik.  hes very friendly and likes bread.  the other day, he got into the kitchen and ran up my shoe because i was cutting up bread lol. 


love you mannie and boy.
