25th Survivor

Posted on Wednesday, December 26, 2007

Rejoice people! Your Zen-ness has survived a Christmas dinner party in Southampton. As i have been up for 20 hours i won’t elaborate too much and just share with you a few random observations and rants, sorry if i don’t make any sense:
  1. My head and my legs hurt.
  2. I was the only human being up at 5:30am on Christmas morning.
  3. Driving the Long Island expressway at 90 miles per hour is fun.
  4. The ‘Buche de Noel” and ‘Red Velvet Cake’ survived the bumps.
  5. There’s no such thing as ‘too much’ caffeine!
  6. Private Chefs deserve their fat salaries. Every penny of it!
  7. Chateau Mouton-Rothshild 1981 is pretty damn good.
  8. Rich people fascinate me… sometimes.
  9. Castrated chickens (capons) are really tender and good, go figure!
  10. I love the ocean and the breezy marine air.
  11. Driving back to the city was hell!
  12. I need a vacation please!!

    Happy to hear that you survived Christmas. Very interesting random observations! I have no doubt that you earn every penny as a personal chef!! And no doubt you have some incredible stories!!! Sadly, it must be challenging to enjoy a holiday meal without having to prepare it! :(

    Are you awake yet, Zen Man? If you gotta go down after celebrating, at least you went down straight upscale. Sounds adequately privliged and debauched..my kind of party.

    I hope you’re going on vacation soon! And for #2 – I think that Santa might have still been awake too. He would have been flying back home about then right? ; )
