Hehe. Thank you, thank you. I'd like to thank my fellow evolters, the
academy, and well, that's about it.

She left Pyra a long while back, didn't she?
From her latest entry on the site, I don't think she's "chef" quite yet.
From the sounds of it (peeling shrimp for seven hours), she's probably a
"kitchen assistant". But there's hope. ;)
I have it easier. I can pick when to go to work, what to make, whom to
shout at, etc. :p
All that, but no salary...
(At least till I start making money. Lucky I get free food.)
>his restraunt actually has a website and a fine one at that.
Why, I'm positively blushing now. I enjoy cooking, and I enjoy writing. My
web site allows me to do both in a fun package.
Which reminds me...
I wrote a two part article on starting a restaurant for one of India's
largest portals. The editor fucked up my words a bit with her own "style",
but it survived without too many injuries. Also got me a flood of email and
web site traffic. Check it out:
