SC - Open VS Closed Kitchens (Rant)

[Black Jade]

I think we need to relax here a bit. I'm not entirely sure that there IS
such a thing as an open, or closed. kitchen, unless there's a household
thing going on.

My experience has been, that  when I volunteered to help a Laurel Cook in my
own area, that he has such an efficient assistant, that other than some odd
chopping, he just doesn't need me, so I have always wandered off and found
something else to help with- Troll, Archery, Stuph runs, whatever. There's
just some people like that. Actually, it encouraged me to become a
Chirurgeon, something I regret daily (Yeah, right ;-)

When I worked for Adamantius and Ras, we planned it several months in
advance- and what they had indicated they wanted me to do, bore little
resemblance to what I wound up doing.

When I cooked a lunch for the event in Dayton, just as I was going out the
door, news came across the 'Net that, despite the event flyer and other ads,
there would be no lunch served, so I did the fair thing, emailed them back,
said "Yes, there would be" and grabbed some things to make a soup, available
for up to 100 people.

With the MK Coronation happening at the end of this month, I volunteered as
soon as I knew who the cook was, simply because she's a Lady I like and
respect from several Lists, and I'm expecting to have a great time, with the
little bit I'm doing to help.

Don't limit your options- rather option your limits. Don't be worrying
because you can't do what you think you want to do- find something new, and
give it your best shot- chances are, you have just opened up your interests.
