This week we officially opened up the full restaurant because the renovations got finished. So now we serve about 500-700 people for breakfast and the same for lunch and at least 1000 for dinner. I have been working breakfast and lunch most of the week, and they put me on a new station, domo which is a large puff pastry with cabernet sauce and a scoop of mash potatoes and then a scoop of roast beef and sauteed vegetables on top then an aoli sauce drizzled on top. I also got to work saute for one day. Then the past two days I have worked nights and got to work fryer one day and saute the other. There where so many orders of fish since it's getting closer to Easter and people are on lent or fasting they only eat fish or vegetarian, which is the two dishes that saute does. So the day I worked saute we were slammed! This whole week me and my amazing roommate had the same schedule so I was nice and took her to work everyday and picked her up so she didn't have to ride the bus. We are getting along really well and I am so glad I have her as my roommate and not any of the other girls in my apartment. They are all really nice but we don't always get along with each other, but I guess that's what you expect from a room full of 6 girls. This week I have been talking to my chef about shadowing at other places around Disney, and he got me a day to shadow at the Grand Floridian next week! One of my suite mates works at one of the cafes in the Grand so she met me there after work and showed me where to park and where to go in. That place is huge! and it's gorgeous they had a jazz band playing in the lobby and then when they got done a piano player came out and played on a huge grand piano(I really wanted to play that piano when he wasn't there, I miss playing). So I am really excited about going over there to see their kitchen and I am supposed to meet Chef Amy, who will be the first female chef I have met since I have been here. But my chef told me he would introduce me to a few other really great female chefs around Disney!
Two days ago I got to go meet up with my aunt and cousin and ma maw in St. Petersburg, which I found out is only an hour and twenty minutes away. I got to see my cousin's house, which is beautiful I really want to live there! and I got to meet all her dogs and see her town where she lives. It was such a cute little artsy downtown with lots of restaurants and bakeries and a peer. If I can't find a job anywhere I can just go there and I will be happy. But it was so good to see them and spend time with them we went and ate at a really good french restaurant! Now I know where I can go and visit if I get homesick again or if I need anything.
Today Mom, Melissa, and Nolan got here, but I was at work. I get to go see them in the morning and spend my two days off with them. I'm so excited :) I have missed them so much and they just came up to see me for a few days, yay! So I can't wait till tomorrow morning! I will update on what all we end up doing soon.
