I can not believe it's April already. This year is just flying by. Well Happy Easter everyone!
I don't think I've ate so much candy in my life!... like i did yesterday.
I know I have taken FOREVER to update once again. My life will slow down... soon. I have been working double shifts almost everyday! Bakery then restaurant and repeat. People say " Inna stop working so much! You are in your twenties, you have to enjoy your twenties." Ok! sure! But on who account? I'll be a millionaire soon enough.
All my family is in California right now. Well my two sisters live there but my mom just went to visit and they are having so much fun. And with out me. Im starting to think I have no business here in Washington and just pack my bags and move there.
Now Seattle has been great to me. I love both of my jobs. Not to mention how amazing the weather has been here in Seattle these past 2 days. Nice and warm 68 degree weather. Haha, for us its real nice and warm!
Well anyway both jobs have been quite a challenge. Just last weekend my restaurant chef had me make 1000 cream puffs... with out the cream for an event. Chef stuffed them with an apple compote and a tiny pork belly. Which he told me turned out amazing, and they were a top seller. I have never made so many puffs in my life. My hand started hurting and cramping I was pretty sure I was going to end up with carpal tunnel after about 800. My friend Amy was kind enough to give me a little hand massage at half time:)  Its fun to work there. Michael the Sous Chef broke his leg a month ago or so doing some "crazy" parkour. And now he rides around with one of these

(To bad thats not Mike in the picture. But just imagine some guy rollin around on that in the kitchen! 

Funny stuff. He's a target of so many jokes.)

Jacky finally opened the other bakery in Mukilteo right by ferry dock. We are still very new but working there Saturday we sold out of bread and the croissants before 2pm! And people were still coming in hoping for bread. I think he is going to do just fine there. 

Its been crazy time in the morning at the bakery doing double production.... everything has to be done before 7am, and i mean everything.

So! iv been quite lazy with the dessert section of this bolg. I kinda wish I had someone to bake for because im not always in the mood for sweets and neither is my roommate. But a girl has to eat right?!

I was on the phone talking to my sister Helen and I asked her what I could do with the Eggyolk noodles I had. Helen told me this amazing and easy recipe she tweaked from Moosewood. Said this all tasted like the Ukrainian dish "Vereniki". And it did. :)

You will need;

Cabbage

Carrot

Onion

A bag of Eggyolk noddles.

Saute the onions add the carrots and season them. 

Add the cabbage and sweat it. ( Cooking it on low with a cover)

 

The longer you sweat the cabbage the sweater and yummier it will get. Cook your noodles and put it all together add some sour cream and wala! You wont get enough.

Here is what mine looked like.

A little taste of Ukrainian cooking in your kitchen! :)

I saw someone post this on Facebook and though it was funny enjoy.
