Sometimes, the intuition works. The other day I had a – feeling – that it was going to be busy for lunch, so I prepped up extra stew and made sure that everything was in its place and ready. Well. It turned out to be a slower than usual day. I was ready, regardless.
This morning, I cruised in extra-early for carrot chopping duties, along with a session of potato peeling, dicing, stirring, mixing, and mashing. My hope was that I would get everything accomplished and have a little time to tackle other chores that have been pushed down the need-to-do list. That didn’t happen. But I was ready for lunchtime.
The little premonition worked out today. Some to-go orders before 11:30. Several tables occupied before noon, and I was rarin’ to go. I like it when things work out for smooth sailing.
As is the case sometimes, a lot of orders for the same thing, and that thing today being Irish Stew – I’ll be back at it shortly, manning the potato and carrot peeling station and ready to whip up another batch of stew for Thursday.
You’re invited to come by for lunch!
