abdominator winner
BEFORE THE ABDOMINATOR CONTEST:
AFTER THE CONTEST:
pictured here is the winner of the abdominator contest we had at work. i should not mention the winners name here because i did not get written consent. but as you can see, home boy got game. he stopped eating pizza and did sit ups every day… he won $70. i don’t think there’s any amount of money that could get me to stop eating pizza and do sit ups every day for 3 months. sounds like pure torture. but that’s why i lost.
as for the pizzas, they’ve been looking good. i did overcook a deep dish tonight. i forgot about it and the poor people who waited, they waited 55 minutes for an overcooked pie… almost burnt. we gave it to them of course. but the worst part was they had an infant child with them. oh, it broke my heart, and two of them were having the deep dish for the first time. luckily, they were super cool people and not mad but understanding. but i still felt pretty awful about screwing up their dinner…
i was late getting some slices out to one table, they dragged behind the pizza, which is just bad oven management, and there was an issue with a medium pepperoni, but it’s too complicated to try and explain here. one pizza had such a hole in it that an entire slice had to get cut out because it was basically mush. we made a make up slice. basically, it went smoothly, but those few glitches were a bummer, especially when i was ready to have the perfect night.
the band tonight was an hour late, thinking i told them 7 -10 when i said 6 -9. that always bums me out. i try and run a tight ship and not try out new bands on a friday night, but that is another long story not worth getting into. they are all nice people and didn’t mean to be late… so i forgave them. i was too busy cooking to even get a listen to them. this booking music thing is a lot of work. i get cd’s every week. there’s just not enough nights in a week for all the bands and musicians that want to play.
joey was up to his usual tricks, joking around, making people laugh, wearing goofy bandanas, and being a model employee.
he has man-crushes on a couple guys, but i won’t mention any names since i don’t have signed permission…and hopefully his girlfriend won’t read this. he’s one of a few people who reads my blog so i have to talk about him, embarrass him as much as possible…
what else? oh, 2 things and i have to hit the hay… 1. i tried the gluten free pizza tonight for the first time and it was really good! celiacs should be knocking down our doors… and 2. tony and pat’s IS moving down the street. it was mentioned in the paper today. can you believe this? now there will be THREE pizza places within a one mile stretch of 23rd ave northeast… you couldn’t find a pizza place anywhere around these parts five years ago, and now they are popping up like popcorn. i guess they figure they can make a good business just off the folks we turn away from the long wait… or maybe since we are so busy, they figure east gainesville needs more pizza places… hmmm. i wonder. how will we ever stay afloat?
