i'm a line cook!

well last night marked my first official line cook JOB...yes mom, i finally have a real J-O-B!!!
well it must be real b/c my name is up on a schedule . oh yeah and i love it! i started trained at garde manger last night. we are responsible for all the salads, soup, amuse bouche's, and some other items on the bar menu. all i can say was that it was awesome!!! everyone was soooo nice and helpful, willing to offer me advice and help whenever needed.
i won't get into too many details of my day yesterday partly b/c i am pretty fried and partly b/c i have to be back at work in 2 hours to do it all again, but the restaurant is closed tomorrow so hopefully there will be time for more details.
after our last ticket last night (last table) at around 9:30 (got to love maine!) we spend about 2 hours breaking down and scrubbing the kitchen. there is no cleaning crew or service, we are the cleaning crew and service. lots of sweeping, mopping, wiping, wrapping, drying, windexing etc... the highlight of the cleaning was getting to drive on a golf cart like mini pick up truck vehicle to transport the linens, garbage and recycling to the other side of the property.
we got around around 1145 (which isn't too bad) and headed to the black bull in rockland ( the regular bar of the primo staff....so yes there are thing in maine open past 10pm, but last call is at 1245.
ok well more later, have to get ready for work.....
