well the last few days have been rather stressful. Friday i spend all day prepping - 90mins slicing onions, an hour peeling and cutting potatoes and 40mins peeling carrots!! This was so i didnt have as much to do on sunday when the indians are off as they just stand next to me watching which im not a fan of.
Saturday night was the usual, altho it was a pizza and chocolate caoted nuts. another hot date and by the end the were nuts flying around everywhere... I was extremly tired and struggled to stay away for the movie i had hired so i had a fairly early night and a bit of a ly-in on sunday morning which made the world of difference.
Then sunday. i hate sundays. mainly because im on the go all day. up at 6 to cook then leave at 8 to let them eat then back in at 1030 to clean up and peel 64 eggs for lunch then leave at 2 for them to eat then back in at 3 to clean and get ready for dinner and then leave at 7 for them to eat then back in at 8 to clean up!! most sundays the indians bob around in and out seeing whats going on and making cups of tea etc which i dont mind. but this week, here comes the stressful bit, i was cooking dinner and im right in the middle of doing it, around half 5. turn around with a 18litre pan full of boiling water and rice and theres about 15 of them all behine me stood talking and making tea, and not moving for me!! arghhhhhhh get out of the bloody kitchen i thort. i endedup having to wait for my kettles to boil again to rince the rice off. frustraiting but at the end of the day it was them that had slight over cooked rice as it was sat in the pan for longer while i waited for the kettles!! anyways, i had a chat with anish, the guy in charge and he told them all that when i was in there cooking they werent aloud in. i felt a little bad then but he said he had told them that normally for that amount of people there were 3 cooks and obviously there was only me so they all understood!
Then today, monday i did breakfast and then went back to bed as normal, but got up at the earlier time of 1030 today as i needed to do my laundry. it started badly as when i went to get my cereals there was no milk. brilliant. then i went to put some cheques in the bank and get some cash before hitting the laudrette. in heize-sight i should have got change at the bank, but i didnt. i got to the laundrette, filled my two machinces, went to get my tenna changed and it was out of order. grrrrrr. so i put my plastic bags and washing power in the top of the machine for safety and rasn across the road to get change. i got it, came back and started my wash. (ive started taking my laptop with me to fill the time so i got on watching a movie. after ten mins i realised i hadnt taken the bags and washing powder out of the machine so ran over and opened the lid. the bags were still in one peice but a little wet and there was no sight of the cardboard box!! i thort oh well too late. anyway, when the wash had finished and i opened the lid i had the nice suprise of ALL my clothes being covered in little pieces of cardboard. arggghhhhhhh again!! it took me ages out side shaking them off and then cleaning the machine. the t-shirts trackies and towel arent bad but all my boxers dont look so great!!! i then grabbed myself some lunch, sushi-salmon roll with a squid salad and a chicken squer and went to do my shoppng for work before heading back and starting dinner!!
ive lost my little recipe book which is a bummer so i got some more tips yesterday which made a massive difference on my cooking today!!
