Mediterraneo got 3 stars in The Record!!!

this is pretty fucking cool!!

i come to work at the restaurant this morning and the chef greets me with "the wrote about us in The Record."

so i ask him, "good or bad?" haha

and he says, "they gave us 3 stars. thats the good news. the bad news is we got flooded with customers." (so great news in both cases, but not so great because i think they ran out of food or couldn't keep up and had to close for lunch today and probably a few other days over the week.

here is the link to the review in The Record

SWEET!! i'm very excited! the chef joked saying that he's gonna make a deal with me. i can put this on my resume, but i have to mention the restaurant in my first book. HAHAHA

im exhausted

...but i feel awesome!

its amazing how a good day of hard work actually makes you feel good. i really cant remember the last time i came home from my office job feeling like i accomplished anything, or did anything worthwhile, that day.

btw, if you are wondering what im talking about, i've been working part-time in the kitchen of a local restaurant in ridgewood (nj). testing the waters, so to speak, before i embark on my plans to change careers and become a chef. :) so far so good.

гоголь моголь (Gogol Mogol)

this is just so i can remember the recipe. гоголь моголь is a drink i used to drink when i was a kid, and it was really REALLY good. super simple to make too.

what you will need:
4 eggs yolks (you can save the whites for when you bake and want to glaze a pie or something)
1-2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons of sugar (or to taste)

put everything in a glass and stir vigorously with a spoon. enjoy. if i have cocoa powder in the house ill make this tomorrow and post some pictures. haha

my site is on the fritz

...so i'm trying this temporary solution for new stuff.

It's been a while

wow...almost a year. thats nuts. well, here is my once-per-year post. hope you enjoyed it. haha
