We damn well did it

Yesterday we completed our course we are now known as a commercial cook and have a certificate in hospitality to match it. Yesterday w were put on three courses and we called all orders just like a head chef. AND WE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Tomorrow we celebrate with 30 of our good mates. The next step is to become a qualified chef, this will take about six months and again it will be in full time schooling, we are enrolled and have been accepted with a quote "you are an outstanding chef in training with limitless potential". Our passion is with those who are less fortunate than us and so we are are in negotiation with the school to be working with soup kitchen feeding the poor, also some of our kitchen hours will be spent at primary schools teaching children the value of food and teaching them how to cook it. Life is holding so many possibilities. This knife sits on my right shoulder as a tattoo as yesterday we left class and have it on our shoulder as reminder of so many wonderful things

So i thought we would say some of the things we have learnt in the last six months.

Only those who are damaged themselves will say you are too damaged to ever be able to work.

No matter how tired you are one day can make a huge difference.

Toilets are a great place to silently sob tears.

Perfection isnt the key in cookery passion is.

Every day is a new day to remember that you are learning something new.

Stirring a pot and smelling aromas is the quiet place that tells you you are indeed at the right moment in the right time.

Multiples can cook amazing food.

We are popular because we show humanity.

We have never forgotten what hunger feels like.

We are not stupid, nor useless, nor unimaginative.

We are a success.

Humour is the key.
