What Tuesdays Look Like

For some people it’s Monday, but for me it’s Tuesday. The day when I go back to work (although, to be fair, Monday’s when I do all the paperwork and accounting). Tuesdays are when we arrive in the morning and the fridges are bare, when the big deliveries come in and when the major prep for the week happens. We spend all day knee-deep in produce with trays of grapefruit segments getting candied, spinach soup being made, dumplings getting folded, onions being pickled, pasta dough being mixed, jalapenos getting chopped, beets getting roasted and on and on. It looks a little like this:

.

beets

grapefruit
