Yep! There is more than enough to keep me busy, but not so much that I am overwhelmed. The girl training me did not show up for her last day, so Friday I was on my own. I was able to organize my desk so that I can better keep track of what needs to be done and prioritize the orders.

Each morning I go for a loooonnnggg walk, from one end of the complex to the other, collecting paperwork. It is a nice way to start the day.

This company is so unlike any place I have ever worked. We have a full kitchen, which is kept stocked with food. We are to help ourselves. If it doesn't have someone's name on it it is community property.

They had planned a pizza party for the girl who left. Even though she was a no show they still did it.

My schedual is going to be 7:00/7:30-4:30. But it is very flexable. I was even told that if there is a problem with Nickolas I can bring him in with me.

I am feeling a bit like Alice.

OK - Tis true they're also known as "Brevilles", and the original jaffle irons were just a metal clamshell on long handles:


But the one I use looks kind of like this.... Imagine this:


...But washed and clean..

Then imagine it doesn't have the diagonal cutters, and there are two chambers like large square scallops - Here's a partial pic of it:


Lay a sheet of puff pastry over the recepticles, dollop the filling into it, fold the rest of the sheet over the filling, then close the two halves and cook for 3-5 mins.

I prefer to use pastry rather than bread as it seals a little better .

My favourite recipe for Cornish Pasty Filling:

Breville pasties
125g lamb mince, cooked and chopped
125g mixed chopped vegetables, cooked
1 cup mashed potato
1 egg
1 teaspoon mixed herbs
salt and pepper
1 sheet pre-rolled puff pastry

1. Combine steak, vegetables, potatoes, egg, herbs and seasoning, mix until well combined.
2. Lay pastry over plates.
3. Place in filling.
4. Fold pastry over and cook until lightly golden brown and crisp.

Yummo !!

I've got one of those too!

Makes for yummy grilled cheese/bacon/granny smith apple slice sandwiches.

Pasties? But I thought those were....oh, never mind.

[lashbear]

They're Paffles. Pastie Jaffles. Jasties. Crikey... now I'm confused.

I walked from the bedroom to the living room and from the living room to the kitchen. Twice.
