Preparing for Hell Week and Some Chicken Piccata...

Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend. I'm preparing both at home and mentally for the worst 20 days of my year, Hell week!

Hell week is usually referred to college students preparing for exams and papers or Navy Seals during their rigorous training. Anyone that works at a restaurant in Denver knows that the last week of February and first week of March is our Hell week, also know as Restaurant Week. Its basically two weeks of working everyday serving 1000's of people a day ( I kid you not, 1000's at one of my restaurants), working long grueling hours, its a roller coaster of emotion every year.

It hasn't even started yet and everyone I work with is ready for it to be over. For the next 20 days straight I will be juggling  two jobs, my kiddo, and will try to blog my usual two posts a week and try not to throw my hands up in the air and give up. If I don't make it, I'll see you on the flip side!

Liam has been under the weather lately and I wanted to make him something that I knew he would gobble right up. I make this Chicken Piccata at least once a month, we both love it so much. Its a great recipe that is wonderful to share with friends and pair with a glass of Santa Julia Torrontes.

Do you have any horror stories of working in restaurants?
