My oldest daughter started a second job yesterday. She scheduled time off this week from her first job, just so she could go through the training process at Puleo’s Grille to become a server. Unfortunately, no sooner had she begun her training the rug was quickly jerked from beneath her feet.
It turned out she needed some sort of licenses(costs $100) to be able to serve drinks. The person who interviewed her failed to give her this bit of info. I’m totally ignorant on these matters. I didn’t know a waitress had to have a special license to carry drinks to a table. I can see a bartender needing something like this, but a waitress?
She needed this second job, badly. That’s why she applied, right? She doesn’t have the extra money to pay for this licenses, either. For now, she’s out of a second job and isn’t scheduled to work this week, unless she was successful in working something out with her boss. Poor kiddo!
On a lighter note, we bought my husband seasons one and two of the 80s TV series Remington Steele. Do you recall it? We enjoyed it back in its day and love it even more now!
If you haven’t heard of this marvelous series, then allow me to give you the heads up and perhaps you’ll wanna to check it out for yourself. I know how difficult it is to find quality programming on the ole boob tube today.
We’ve finished season one and just started season two last night. This is such a great show!
My husband is a cookie monster. He loves cookies! I kid you not, he can whip out an entire bag by himself, IF he allowed it. You would think someone like this would be enormously large, but he isn’t. He’s 5’10” and weighs 156 pounds.
Why am I talking about cookies and his obsession with them? He’s currently on a lemon cookie kick. Do you know how difficult it is to find a lemony lemon cookie in the grocery store? It’s terribly difficult! This leaves me with one choice and that is to find an outstanding recipe online today to satisfy his cookie craving. Rachel Ray has a lovely recipe for Iced Lemon Cookies, which I’m definitely going to try this weekend, if not before then. This sounds just like the ticket for winning over DH’s taste buds and no doubt my son’s, too! I’ll give you the verdict of how this recipe turns out in a not-so-distant post.
We bought a dishwasher June 2010. This is the first one I’ve had in over 20 years. Elated to finally have this convenience of a nifty appliance again to do the job I had forgotten sometimes automatic dishwashers don’t do a perfect job. The biggest problem I have is food particles getting washed back upon the glasses primarily, but sometimes on the dishes, too. To put it mildly, this is irritating. In a recent post, someone suggested using distilled vinegar as a rinse agent. I don’t use a rinse agent because I don’t like the idea of chemicals being left on my dishes. However, vinegar is harmless if ingested and I felt it was worth a try. Last week, I used this little trick and wah-lah…while it’s still not perfect, it is a noticeable improvement. Then I stumbled upon an interesting post from Jenerally Speaking on how to make your own automatic dishwashing detergent. A comment intrigued me saying the home-made stuff worked better than store-bought brands and that it’s cheaper. So, over the weekend I bought the ingredients and yesterday I mixed everything up. It made a lot! I have a plastic gallon size container and a disposable Rubbermaid container (5.2 cups) full of home-made automatic dishwashing detergent. I’ll be giving it a try a little later and the outcome to this experiment will be forthcoming, I promise!
