In Search Of:
Good morning, Ang, I am in control of menus, but it is very important to me to cater....
to the tastes of crew and clients. Also, being aware of weather, work schedules, allergies, special diets etc.
This job like the one last summer, I have a group of clients from before, so have a headstart.
The main contractors here are from England, another group from America's South, the engineering techs are from Mexico City and the roughneck drillers from Veracruz, Mexico. The first two groups are pretty much world travelers and enjoy most food.
The guys from Mexico City have pretty varied tastes since it is a huge city. Funny thing there, One of these guys walked up to the serving line and in the middle of a Spanish sentence I heard "spanakopita, bueno!"
I had to giggle, and the one who spoke English best explained there are many Greek resturants in the city.
The roughnecks are pretty adventuresome, but like beans, rice, tortillas with every meal and lots of chicken and fish. They are really fun and will try most everything else.
I used to take a few cookbooks and a bundle of things I had printed off. I take my laptop and have a terrific baby printer. Almost all recipes are on flash drive and I print them out as I need them.
How much time I will get to try new recipes depends on skills of my help. If I have to pick up a lot of slack, cuts into creative time. I have lots with me though, hope to get into them.
Way to long, should be a PM?
Flying Thursday, have internet on board, so will be in touch every chance I get.
Thanks for all of your recipes, stories, ideas, humor and more!
