I'm still here

Family is great. Christmas was wonderful. New Years eve now and tomorrow a brand new calender. Food has been good lately..

I'll be around in '12. Lots of months in 2011 with no updates. But... as a dad I've been busy.

I'm still eating.. still reading.. still working

But it's been a busy time with a child. Stay tuned..

Thanks inflation..

The Memorial Day barbecue is almost 30% more expensive this year over last..

The simmering summer eating season is here

And in kind, I'm searching for the perfect burger. I'f love suggestions and where in the states is the USA where I can find one.. Email me your thoughts and suggestions or just comment on this site appropriately. The hunting begins for the cheeseburger in paradise.

Political fundraisers

Of any party I've ever worked, I think political fundraisers or anything political for that matter have always been the least fun.. the most tense.. the most awkward.. And the party I most wanted to leave quickly.

Children.....

I never before thought that when I had a child I would care so little about having hot food, or often having food at all. When people say 'everything changes' they aren't lying. As a matter of fact, so much has changed that when I search the archive of my own site SoupOnMyFly.com, I think of me as a different person in those times..
Don't get me wrong, of course. It's still me. The same me. The same brave part time server full time eater in a world of food and abdominal pains after eating, but there is so much more I know now... so much more I want to know. And so much more to come.

Stay with this site. I promise to update it more.

Even if I am not working as much as the weekend warrior as a waiter, I am still eating places. And I still feel I can add some flavor to the world of food, no matter my role in it: Customer or worker.

It's my hope that everyone's Mother's Day came and went without much fanfare

But for anyone in the restaurant industry, having Mother's Day without fanfare is just not possible. So in that regard, I hope it went well and fast. Over and out. Quick. And hopefully cash filled your pockets too.

For me, it was the first Mother's Day that I didn't work.. Having a son, I spent the day with my wife and new mom for the first time. And I didn't mind it one bit. Believe me.. Not working at a fast-paced insane restaurant on Mother's Day was a blessing more than Christmas itself.

So hopefully out there in serverland, your day was just as well. If you worked I'm sure it wasn't.

Despite a lack of updates.. There is still soup on my fly..

Expect more in the coming days.. I've been busy with a child. That's right, this part-time restaurant worker and full time restaurant eater now has a one year old.. one who is feasting on his forumla but eagerly anticipating asparagus scampi over wheat pasta. Or that's just me.. Either way, the soup is on a simmer, and the fly is down. More updates coming, so continue to stay tuned..

NEW DAY! Out with '10 Good morning .'11!

happy new year world.
