I found an ad on Craigslist last week looking for a cook, specifically an "Awesome, Nice & Cool Cook". OK, so I'm awesome, nice, and cool... and I can cook. I checked out the places website and Yelp and I sent an email and resume. They liked (I was a bit tongue-in-cheek, sort of a litmus test for a place that's going to be a good fit), and put me to work for a few days. And they are keeping me. Soups made from scratch with fresh ingredients... they don't even HAVE a freezer, and 'dry storage' is all beans, rice, and paper goods. Over 400 different soups, 10 every day, changing all the time. And a clean kitchen... I mean really clean; my boss is not only ServSave certified, he's a teacher. The man has HAACP like some folks have Jesus. Seriously, I'd lick the floor. I love it. It's nice to be working, and it's frikkin' wonderful to be working in a place I really believe in. So part of the job is that I eat free when I'm working... I told him "you may regret it, I can eat a LOT of soup" and he said "Bring it!" Today I had beef chili, a baguette, and a s'mores brownie Tuesday I had chicken noodle and half a grilled cheese Monday I had ginger rosemary soup and half a reuben Sunday I had a take-home of caramelized garlic soup served like french onion Saturday I had poblano corn chowder and a turkey and cheese melt Friday I had mushroom and ivory lentil soup and a gluten-free bar thingie Thursday I had the best creamy tomato soup in my life, and half a tuna melt http://www.dakindsoups.com/ http://www.yelp.com/biz/da-kind-soups-evergreen |

Dang, menu makes the place sound wonderful, one I would patronize regularly. Isn't Evergreen a little up in the mountains? How is the commute? |

The commute is the only down side... about 45 minutes. It's a lovely drive, though, and it is in three distinct sections, so it's not boring. When the winter comes they know I won't be able to make it in if the roads close, and there's a bunk bed in the back if I can't make it home safely. |

Congrats! So, did you make "the best creamy tomato soup" in your life that you ate, too? Or was that another cook's job for the day? Edit: Oh, and, Stella's hot.

Bugger. Turns out that what they really needed was an awesome fast dishwasher who can occasionally cut onions, and I'm a speedy prep cook who is slow on dishes. Unemployed again. |
