Murphy got a new coat!

This week Tori and I went to Goodwill. She was looking for jeans and I was making fun of all the tacky clothes that people donate! We found a dog coat that was just his size and for three bucks I thought it was a steal!
He doesn't seem to mind it...I personally think he looks pretty handsome!

Starbucks!

This morning at the Bux, This woman came in and ordered a venti vanilla breve chai. For those of you who aren't familiar with coffee language Breve means Half and half. This woman ordered her drink and then asked if that drink was made with non fat milk. I said no, breve means half and half. She then asked for an extra shot of vanilla. So, I told her that we would usually put 5 pumps of vanilla in that sized drink and asked if she wanted 6. She responded with oh no, 5 pumps is enough. I really wanted to ask her if she had ever had this drink before, being that she questioned all the custom changes to her drink!

This man and his wife came in and asked me about our Internet. I told him it was a AT&T hot spot and you have to pay for it or have a registered starbucks card to get it for free. He then tells his wife how frustrating it is because in Eugene it's free. I also really wish I could tell people when they state something so matter of fact like and it's wrong! Starbucks never has free Internet, you may be able to pick up someone else's wireless but it's not Starbucks. It wasn't free in Memphis or NY and it's not free here OR in Eugene. So, you are wrong sir, very wrong!

Turkey lurkey!

So, this weekend was the beginning of spring break for me at Bon Appetite. Even though I will probably work about 10 hours for them I still had a ton of time on my hands. I decided to finally cook up the turkey I got for Thanksgiving and make a bunch of food to freeze so that maybe Tori and I would stop eating out. I have made in the last 2 days Turkey pot pie, Mac and cheese, turkey tetrazzini, and lasagna. today I am suppose to make Shepard's pie, banana bread and turkey soup. This should give Tori and I like 40 meals! I am only making banana bread so that we use the frozen bananas.
It has been nice having a break but I am a little concerned that it will be hard to get back in the swing of work. I basically had Friday thru Monday off (I did work about 3-4 hours on Saturday), when I went into Starbucks on Monday morning all my regulars asked if I still worked there. I went in to Bon Appetite today and will go in on Friday just to bake off some pastries. It's been pretty fun to sleep in!

Hey Mama!

This Morning at Starbucks T-Mobile girl (who I like to call Shaniqua Bonita) came in and ordered her ridiculous drink, which is a Venti 5 pump Sugar free Caramel, 5 pump sugar free vanilla, Breve, 5 splenda with whipped cream Americano. I don't like this woman because she tries to get her syrups and breve for free which makes her drink about $1 cheaper ,and she calls me "honey" or "Sweetie". She hates me, because I have made it my personal life at Starbucks mission to make sure she pays for her syrup and breve. Today she came in and asked for her drink and then told me she was short on cash and would add her own breve at the condiment bar. She then walks down to the hand off station where she starts yelling "hey, Mama!" "Mama!" as she is yelling this I realize she is yelling at me. So, being me, I just ignore her because my name is not "mama". Finally she goes "hey you!" and I look over to her and say "oh, were you talking to me? I am sorry, I figured you were talking to someone else because my name is not mama and being that I am not a Mama, I don't respond to that!" Really? who calls the Starbucks barista or anyone other then there Mama, that???

When I got to Bon Appetite, they had this nice college age Chinese girl come in to the bakery, because she wanted to use the mixer. I showed her how to use it and then she looked at me and asked "how much water do I need? and I asked what she was making and she said "dumplings". I asked what was in the dumplings and she told me flour and water. So, I tell her I am not sure but to just add water till the dough is the right consistency. So, she is adding water and looks over at me and says "is this OK?" and I ask what kind of dumplings are you making and she says "Chinese dumpling"...do I look Chinese? She had also called in her friend Ben for help, he was the Chinese club president and not Chinese. He then looks at the dough and then at me and says "um, the doughs kind of dry?" All I wanted to say to these people was....it is not my project and I am not Chinese!
