An unusually thick Dutch Baby. |
“Good evening,” I said to thousands of no-bodies. “Tonight I am going to perform my one-woman play about a cook on a tall ship.” But then I got stage fright. Giggled. Walked away. I’ve never liked the limelight.
Still, how often does life present such moments to you? You just have to sieze them.
I haven’t been to Red Lobster since I was a kid, but Harrison asked if I could make their biscuits. |
Burnout
Tomorrow we leave on another transit, to Marquette, Mi. I had really hoped to have another day in Duluth. I would have gotten a hotel room tonight, slept in a bed, swam in their pool. But I’ve got to make breakfast at 0700. Lately when daysail passengers ask about my job, I find my answer has changed. I used to say just that I loved it. Now I say that I’m a bit burnt out from the relentless pace. Then I say I love it. I can’t help wishing sometimes that we had a week off now and then. Maybe people would stick around longer. Maybe burn out wouldn’t be just a big issue.
Salad, with apples, candied slivered almonds, dried cranberries, celery, grated asiago, and homemade croutons tossed with olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper. |

Of the many reasons to love you, here are 3:
1. Cook who makes Dutch Baby and goes above and beyond 3 times per dinner so everyone gets what they love.
2. Seize the day mentality.
3. That you would make a speech to an empty auditorium–even a short one…
