weekend |week-end|
-noun
The period from Friday evening through Sunday evening, esp. regarded as a time for leisure: she spent the weekend camping | [as adj.] a weekend break.

It's been a good reminder to check in the dictionary for the definition of weekend, to realize that when you work in the Restaurant the weekend is something that does not exist in terms of leisure...

Friday early evening in el Willy is all about the telephone and the reservation book...Usual tsunami of calls asking for a table available for the same night��then our work is like putting together a puzzle of tables and schedules...inside the kitchen is a big chaotic space with lots of foods being transformed at a frenetic rhythm��

Around 5pm the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÍø crew start showing up for happy hour...by 6pm the first locals for dinner and around 8 we get hit by the tsunami. 10pm is when the Spaniards show up and I step off the kitchen by 11ish...then open some good wine��usually "Milmanda" from Torres China...later we'll head down to at to chill with the boys in the bar��later hit the last drinks at

Saturday morning alarm by 11ish...wake up with SO and have some espresso with milk at home...head down to el Willy again, around 12 or so there ready to have the next Illy coffee...check the kitchen for the organic products from the and hit the organic brunch with the boys...after check the organization for the Saturday night puzzle of reservations...talk to the floor staff about how to organize the reservations and leave for some Chinese food...this time in Fuxing rd...great Taiwanese food...hit some Taiwanese cold cuts, cabbage salad with coriander, curry crab, veggies and some pig ear with chili oil...go back to el Willy check around, scream a little to make sure the things are well prepared for the night...Crazy busy again...that's the weekend in a restaurant! After service Max shows up, also SO with her friend Hiromi...we hit some wine...later we go to to hear their Japanese friend Dj...have some more supersexy wine...head home and bang around wildly 'till falling asleep in some corner of the bed...wake up on Sunday, bang around some more...go to to start with some sexy oysters...continue with white asparagus, salad, lamb and codfish...drinking some excellent burgundy Chardonnay from Franck's special selection...hit some chocolate mousse and peaches melba style...oishi lunch!

Go home for siesta...around two hours...go to Aric´s home in and BBQ there for the whole afternoon to night...with beers and good music...some Ratatat, Hot Chip, boards of Canada and some good flamenco...

The weekend will finish at home watching "El Sol del Membrillo" and falling asleep in the sofa...
