❄ today was the quietest day ever at work! with only six tables to serve the entire day, jesper and i were so bored that we occupied ourselves with a new competition; 'who's the best at the most things'....
jesper beat me with the orange-peel spiral-making, mainly because i tried too hard and made the spiral too long.
at his attempt at a california roll (squashed out of shape with loose fillings in the middle) i was in tears of laughter and the guests were even looking over to see what was so amusing. i felt that my sushi was much nicer than his, however when i brought it back into the kitchen to eat, chris, the polish dish-washer stared at it with a mocking look and asked me if it was my idea. "im sorry, but this is not good. for you it is a long path to sushi chef".. jesper-2: anna-0. damn it!
the third competition was cafe-latte hearts. jesper screwed his up straight away by over-pouring the milk. although he still claimed his looked more appealing, i left the judging to marcus the chef. marcus agreed jesper's looked more appealing but i reinstated the fact that he was judging the heart and not the appeal and so mine won. ...still, it was barely a 2:1 outcome.
it seems i'm not as naturally talented at as many things as i thought i was....in fact, when asked if i could come up with one single thing that i was really better at than jesper, i had to think hard. and yoga was all i could think of on the spot.
when i came home and told jerry, he instantly (and angrily) came up with a long list of my many skills and talents. it's so nice having my biggest admirer so close at hand :o)
I love your blog! You definately have a talent for writing. I found your blog through Jerry's blog. It's nice to hear "your side of the story" as well as his. Enjoy Sweden, this is one of the few times I actually miss it :)
