Monday’s don’t faze me. I have to pretend to be sympathetic when the general population express their dislike of the first day of the week. I really bores me. Think about it. You’re going to go the rest of your life sighing at the thought of the day of the week? Make Monday’s your bitch.

I love catering canape-esc parties. I say ‘esc’ because I don’t like little fuddy duddy mouthfuls of food but I do like little bites that pack a punch.

I shot out of bed this morning and ran to work (because I overslept) however I arrived in a great mood. That feeling might wear away after a while but the adrenaline so early in the morning was exhilarating. Maybe if a add a double shot of coffee to my system, i’ll develop super powers.

If I ever become a parent I will use Halloween as an educational opportunity. Why would I just buy some polyester piece of shite to be worn once so my child can get mini confectionaries from the neighbours? I’d make my child research someone from history and then if they want to go trick or treating they can make they’re own costume based of their findings.

The team is bigger and louder than ever and i’m not even on shop floor. It’s weird having to explain the deli, turns out there’s a lot more to it than I give it credit for. Considering we’re such good value it’s amazing how bespoke we are. I love this place.

Mexican beans
Kimchi rice

Today i’m anxious ‘the new guy’ is starting and that brings on a whole mountain of stress. Training someone to work at the deli is not an easy task. How to make a latte rather than a Cappuccino, taking down orders using our abbreviations, Talking a middle aged man through a crisis… It’s a lot.
