Mental Shrapnel

I know it's been a couple days, no word my job status - should know something soon. The stage went great, and it was a pleasure to get to be in Chef Benjamin's kitchen great group of chefs.

Here are somethings bouncing around in my head and otherwise.

1. Bought a 2qt Ice Cream maker as a graduation present (I got a gift card)
2. At last counting  I'm currently reading 3 book at the same time: Alinea, Cooking Dirty and Momofuku
3. Still trying to figure out what my first run of ice cream is going to be.
4. School's of thought. I actually had a post about it, and a rampant bitchfest about things that went down while on the competition team (mostly judging related) it was too negative so I scraped that.
5. I feel as though I've lost some of my focus. Funny thing is, that when I'm in the kitchen (the stage or at home) my focus returns.
6. Need to work on that focus as we can always improve.
7. Needing to do a PSU market run on Saturday.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, a lot of things jumbling around in the ole bean. Even if I'm reading three books at the same time, it's another way I can focus. I love reading and reading about food - makes it even better.
