Me

I'm a Chef and writer who has an immense passion for what I do. I tend to rant and ramble on a variety of subjects, hence the title of this blog. The "in-training" part of the title comes from my belief that no matter how experienced a chef may be, he or she should always be training him- or herself and constantly striving to become better.

Books and Random stuff

So I finally got my two paychecks deposited into my bank account... Only took three days longer than I hoped and a week after I needed it. What make it worse: Price of books before I got my money: $190 Price of books after I got my money: $270 And to top that off, the two books I needed the most (My Intro to Hospitality book and my workbook for accounting) are on order, so I need to wait until they get to the bookstore before I can get them. On a slightly different note... I have my first session as a tutor tomorrow. I went into the office today to type up some of the notes I had for the subject I'm tutoring (Product Purchasing and Identification, one of my strongest subjects, grade-wise). What made me chuckle though was the fact that I put more effort into that than I ever put into my homework... I'm not sure if it's because I pay to do homework and get paid to type up notes, or if I just care more about helping people than getting a grade... Either way, I put more effort into the tutoring stuff than I've put into homework. More good news: I finally got everything I needed for my desktop computer to be fully operational. That include, keyboard, wifi adapter, speakers and a webcam. The webcam was the only thing I didn't buy, and it's the one thing I didn't really need, which makes it all the more awesome that I got it as a gift from my roommate, Sean, for being his ride into Charlotte when he has class on Tuesdays and Thursdays or work on Fridays. Haven't tested it out on a video-call yet, but it seemed to work fine when I installed it along with Skype. Well, that's about all I've got for now... TTFN!
