Who would believe...a YEAR OLD

Yes, a birthday came and went with scarcely a ripple and nary a popping of even a cork!! But I did remember and I promise The Phatt Chef a minor celebration when we have the time. What a brilliant season we have been lucky enough to have had. Great customers, reliable, well almost reliable staff, except for two kitchen ladies who arrived absolutely plastered out of their tiny sculls on New Years eve. If it was not so annoying it would have been amusing to watch them as they pin balled around the kitchen, picking up red hot pans and not realising where the smell of searing flesh was coming from....well anyway that's staff for you, can't sell 'em, can't kill 'em just got to pay 'em and grin and bear it!!

Our first batch of trainees have arrived from The International Hotel School in Sandton....long may THEY last...lots of energy, lots of aspirations, they think cooking is akin to gamboling through a green field full of daisies and poppys, chasing butterflies...well we're all in for a rude awakening methinks!!
