I've had a lot of inquires as to why I haven't been blogging the past few days but I'm sure your aware that sleep gets in the way between the 16-18 hour days I'm working and the blogging has taken a back seat (sorry, you loose over sleep).
In any case, I've been asked what could make up 26 items on a hot breakfast steam line and the bottom line is were feeding world class athletes and they need carbs and protein. sleep. Can you imagine pasta and marinara sauce or a baked potato, roast and fried potato for breakfast? How about 5 different rice’s each day, everything from fried to Congee, or wild rice and sticky rice etc. sleep. Then comes the different types of porridges. pancakes, waffles, baked tomatoes, fried mushrooms etc etc. sleep. Have you noticed I haven't even mentioned the different breakfast meats or types of eggs yet and see how the list is climbing? sleep. We were only up to 6500 meals today but expect that to jump to 12,000 within the next couple of days and an additional 2000 box lunches on Friday for the bus ride of the athletes to Vancouver for the opening ceremonies. Did I mention how tired I am tonight and need to head to bed so I can get some sleep?
