Week 8

This is a slow and lazy week. Chef left for California on Sunday, and I don’t work until Thursday. I have no ride into town, until Wednesday, and there isn’t much to do on the ranch since everyone else is cleaning or doing maintenance.
I am working about 32 hours this week doing employee meals from Thursday to Sunday. I was going to go horseback riding with Travis on Monday or Tuesday, but both days were very windy and we were unable to. Kim made some nice meals on Monday and Tuesday. Monday she made an array of leftovers. She had hash browns, bacon, bagels, waffles, a big salad, and many other sides. On Tuesday she made hamburgers with all the fixings. There was cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and lots of condiments. She took the extra burgers home with her. Later that afternoon, her, me, TJ, Marshall, Veronica, and Anna all went to the Greer Lakes. There we had a small cookout with good music, good food and good friends.
Before we all went out to the lake, workers from a local landscaping company were digging holes for new trees. After about the third hole, Kim came over and started to complain about not being able to connect to the Internet. I checked mine and it was out as well. The phones were out as well. We all think they dug in the wrong spot and hit the cable. Luckily my project is all done and all I need is my computer to write in my journal.
For the rest of the week and I will be working from 8 – 3. With nothing else to do I will be coming up with recipes and menus to use for the employee meals.
