The positive side of mistakes

“I made a mistake”, four words, four little words that have the power to be self destructive or self motivating. The pain and embarrassment will still be the same but the outlook and direction of recovery will vary completely on which path is chosen. This week hasn’t gone my way financially. From car repairs, toContinue reading “The positive side of mistakes”

Finding the time

Where does my week go?. This is the prevelant thought every Sunday night. As the grains of sand speed through the hour glass of life and it is both humbling and terrifying. Another week goes by and suddenly 2020 seems to have gone by in a flash. Soon it will be over and a newContinue reading “Finding the time”

“COS YOU GOT TO HAVE FAITH”

As the orders trickle in, and the evening begins to move into the quiet of night, I manage to get a few minutes between the demands of the Mrs and kids, and for a few minutes, in peace I get to reflect and think of the week. Well it would actually be two, apologies forContinue reading ““COS YOU GOT TO HAVE FAITH””

SOLD OUT

WE SOLD OUT and it felt bloody great. Then as the anxiety started to build, the mind started racing about every little detail, the day dreaming commenced and the energy became electric, this was the shot. Last Monday, I put on social media a menu for Sunday Roast dinners. The idea behind it was byContinue reading “SOLD OUT”

Time to HUSTLE like a MOFO

trip to the ranch to see The Squirrel

“You need the Squirrel!”, this is the advice Big Sexy had for me. For the last ten minutes we having been playing pool and chatting about the progress of the food van, as I go through the list of things needed its becoming apparent in my mind that I’m falling further and further behind, losingContinue reading “trip to the ranch to see The Squirrel”

bloody vegans!!!

This is it, this is the one that causes people to implode with opinion, the one topic that causes people to call me an uninformed bald arsehole (to which they are probably correct), this is the ramble about VEGANS. As we get to the end of VEGANARY, a new concept trendies seem to embrace forContinue reading “bloody vegans!!!”

Christmas dinner is Groundhog day

As December passes by in a blur, the hours increase, the workload increases, the panic of front of house having to deal with something slightly new increases and everyone starts planning the meals around Christmas with more tactical awareness than General Patton. The meals of Christmas eve, Christmas dinner, the boxing day curry all plannedContinue reading “Christmas dinner is Groundhog day”

death row dining

“So you’ve flown to America, gone on a massacre because someone says scallion or cilantro one too many times and you find yourself on death row waiting the electric chair. “What would your last meal be?”. Its normally some variation on this question, but its one I’ve heard many times over the last 17 yearsContinue reading “death row dining”
