The Greatest Show on Earth.....

We thought this would be the best & easiest way to keep all our family & friends up to date on our day to day happenings in Whistler. We'll try to make a post each day, however we're not going to fool ourselves. We're not young fella's any more and the days are going to be long. But we'll try our best to include as many of the highlights of our adventure of a lifetime as often as possible.

200,000 Meal Mark

In preparation for the Paralympics & in combination with the Olympics we've now surpassed the 200,000 meal mark in 6 weeks. Without a doubt an amazing accomplishment.

I also wanted to add to Bill's post about the workforce move. What he conveniently left out was, while in the process of setting up the Senior Chef's & Management in the fancy condo's while the rest of were put in the Atco trailer's, we actually ended up with the better deal. We're 2 to a room & sharing one bathroom & a 2 minute walk to work, while they got stuck with 6 people sharing one bathroom & the condo's are at the far reaches of the village with an approx 20 minute walk to work. We've all had a good laugh over that one.

Cheers, Olympic Mike

    Thirty years ago I was responsible for feeding the security group during the Pope's visit to Edmonton,I had a main kitchen and four Atco kitchens at various sites, staffed by part time help, and volunteers from the regular civilian and RCMP and City police staff. The most memorable event was when one kitchen ran out of eggs and since it was manned by city police and they had failed to get me security clearance for the site, I had to lift a 15doz egg carton over the security fence to the(thankfully) tall cop on the other side. We put in 2 weeks of 24/7 and were pretty proud of our success. And then you people come along with this wonderful experience with these two Olympic events and I am envious.
    Envious of the memories you will have, the people you met and new friends you made and I am also envious of that marvelous equipment and freedom to produce wonderful food for happy clients.
    None of you will ever forget it.
