Well folks, I’m closing in on another winter season of cooking at a wilderness lodge in Maine. Different setting/ organization, same state. In the interest of throwing it back to my old blog stand-by, here’s a quantitative list of my end-o-season thoughts/ accomplishments:

-largest number of people served at one meal: 60
-number of cookbooks I brought and worship: 3
-compliments I’ve gotten on my salads: at least 10
-containers of sesame seeds ordered: 5 
-miles cross country skied: woulda been cool if I had kept track
-pizzas I’ve eaten from Jamos: 6
-number of days before the end of the season before I discovered making pizza brings me great joy: 9
-seasonal positions I now have had: 7
-days skied in shorts: 4
-fires I have lit: 0
-times I’ve gotten my car stuck in the snow: 2
-number of (2 minute) snowmobile rides: 7
number of star wars movies watched: 3
-moose seen: 0 (what the heck???)
-times I’ve gone snowboarding: 2
-most times I’ve checked the mailbox in one day: 3
-number of visits to the Kokadjo snowmobile bar: 6
-loaves of multigrain bread baked: ~25

-knowledge that I never want another professional cooking job: priceless
