To Clarify…
Filed Under (Current State of Equipment) by tyronebcookin on 31-01-2008
My original Current State of Equipment post (the very first one) has caused some questions about how the equipment is running…the equipment in the kitchen is running fine except for oven number 3 seems to have a mind of its own and is real loud (But I posted 2 days later to also say the 3rd oven had been fixed on the 21st of January)…Peter (my boss) told me that the right side braising pan did not work (when I first came) but there was a work order in for it, BUT apparently it was fixed some time back and Peter was not aware of it, so neither was I.
 
These posts are just made as general knowledge and to let the crew know where we stand when we are trying hard to put out quality meals that everyone enjoys, or at least most people enjoy. hahaha!
 
And I have enjoyed Glen L. checking up with us several times to make sure things are running right.  Thanks to Glen we can steam the vegetables again! (that post was on the 29th, the part came in!)  Kevin was fixing the tilt feature on braising pan number 1 when I first started working.
 
Arthur, Kevin, Glen have all been great and have a lot more to do on the ship than serve the galley…but make sure and appreciate them as they have been a great service to us in Food Service!

Deja Vu Dinner? (this Sunday night)
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by tyronebcookin on 31-01-2008

What is that you may ask?  Its when after a few days you come to Dinner/Supper thinking, ‘where have I seen this food recently?’ then it hits you like Deja Vu…Oh!  Thats what our dinners have been the last couple of days!  (leftovers, repeats, play-it-again…whatever you call them at home)

The Q
Filed Under (form) by tyronebcookin on 28-01-2008

Some have expressed problems with the questions, comments, suggestions entry form so I have simplified it even more, you can find it right on the side-bar on the left hand side.

Thanks for letting me know!

Roast Beef

About Roast Beef…

From ship to ship and at the IOC we have some similiar cuts of meat and some that range a bit beyond what is normally seen.  So, as you can imagine I have to learn how to work with the food after seeing its various cooking ‘personalities’ what it will and won’t do for me, and what I may have to force upon it by method of rubs, brines, and marinades. 

I am not quite happy with the beef used for Roast Beef yet, and as you bare with me I will be applying other ‘tricks of the trade’ so to speak to see what I can get this beef to do for me…its much like getting old circus animals to do new tricks for a new ringmaster.

Also, we are looking into getting some horseradish for a nice sauce, we do not have any horseradish at present.

That being said, a nice meat slicer would accomodate us quite nicely…

Tuesday Night (late for AFM’rs) - Wednesday morning Surprise!
Filed Under (Surprise) by tyronebcookin on 22-01-2008

Surprise!!!  If you are reading this on Wednesday after breakfast you are too late!

Someone volunteered to make pancakes AND I showed Maria how to make cinnamon rolls (w/a glaze) she will be baking/making them for breakfast, so there is a good chance you missed them both if you are reading this after 8am…Well you know.
