oh what fun it is to peel

Don't you love that feeling when you peel a vegetable that's really easy to peel? .... like cucumbers?!?!?! (they're my FAV!) I spent an hour peeling giant radishes yesterday and the skin just sliced off ever soo smoothly. And tomorrow I get to peel maybe 300 pounds of taro. Omgggg I'm so excited!!!

My chef asked me why I still want to work in a restaurant after seeing how tiring it is, day in and day out to stand on your feet and work manual labor. It's the little joys in cooking, like peeling smooth vegetables or scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula to get every drop that make life a little more fun. There really isn't much in cooking that I don't enjoy... I like doing even the mundane things, like washing dishes, measuring out ingredients, slicing and dicing, wrapping stuffs... but peeling vegetables - omg... soooooo nice.

:D

*disclaimer* I'm weird, but I fully accept that.
