valentine's day

DH told me he made reservations at Morton's, and had some sort of surprise for me. However, he forgot I am working that day, and had to change the reservation b/c i told him I could not work an earlier day. I am too scared with all that has been going on in the world. I want to stay under the radar at work as much as possible.

I think I ruined his plans though. I told him we don't have to spend that much money on v-day. I would rather stay home and have him make dinner. I feel bad like I burst his bubble. We just got married this month, and I feel like we shouldn't be spending a lot of money. So as for now I am not sure if he canceled the plans or not.

Haha! I have actually never eaten at American Bounty or even been inside the restaurant. For our last few weeks we have to work in the restaurants in the kitchen and front of the house but I never worked at that one. I worked at all the others. Colavita is the Italian restaurant and my favorite out of the 4. Favorite food and favorite to work in too. Enjoy it when you go.

cool! next time we'll definitely check out Colavita! i'm sure this will not be our last time there :) btw...last time we were there, i read the note they put on the bill about how all the students work in the restaurants before their graduation and i got SO choked up reading it. i don't know why but i was just so impressed by the service and food and thought of what a big deal it must be for the students. and that's about all it takes to bring a tear to my eye

We were going to use a gift card we got to Waterzooi, but I think we are going to my parents' 2nd home in the poconos for the weekend - free and relaxing. We'll take walks with the dog and some drives around the area, and BBQ at night and watch movies. We're going to save the gift card for another time!

---

aww... that sounds REALLY nice! A good getaway

Yeah it's a cool set up. A lot of people can't believe we're students. The gratuity card is cool but a lot of people also leave money on the table and then we're allowed to take it. We usually give a cut to the bartender but it's fun to actually make some money. We also had cool contests-like at the Italian restaurant if we were able to sell a certain amount of aperitifs after class we got to split fancy bottles of wine. The restaurant set-up is different than any other culinary school and I loved that about it. Well enjoy it and make sure to go the Apple Pie bakery too.
