In Honour Of Earth Hour. . .

I'm going to minimize my amount of time on this crazy contraption, we all call the internet. Instead, in about 30 minutes when it is time to say good bye to electricity for an hour, I am going to light up the candles and read a rather delightful book. Or get distracted from the book, and laugh at Crosby while he crazily rolls around his cat house all hopped up on catnip. What is a cat house you ask? Well, that will have to be saved for a day that doesn't contain an Earth Hour, because such tales would just waste too much precious energy (okay it wouldn't, but if you google 'cat tree' you sort of see what I am talking about, except his has a 'fort' on top).

Now, if you are totally lost for what to do during your Earth Hour, then here is a handy video for what a Saturday night is good for.

    ahoy. i spent last night at the restaurant, and we shut off all the lights exept for two small lamps. cooking and keeping things organized was not the easiest, but it was a neat atmosphere.

  2. Yeah, that would have been pretty neat. So, were the lights off in the actual dining area too or just the kitchen? That would have been a really cool atmosphere. I wonder how many other restaurants went in that direction.

    there were two lights on in the whole place. one on in the back where the dishes are done, and one in the dining room which is where we cook as well. it was killer on my eyes, though. every time my eyes started adjusting to the darkness i would get a flash of fire from the range and it would pretty much blind me. all in all, it was a pretty fun way to do it.

  4. I really think that is cool you guys were able to pull that off. I am also glad you are not blind. So, are the customers able to watch you cook, as in the 'kitchen' is open concept? I've seen that in a lot of different Asian restaurants.

    ya, we are out there to be seen. it is kind of nice, but also quite the opposite sometimes. some people like to come over and expect to get full conversations while we are super busy. they seem to have no clue.

  6. Never underestimate the cluelessness of people. I am sure nothing is better than some Joe Schmo walking up to you during the dinner rush and trying to talk to you about his apricot tree. I am sure it is a nice tree but not really worth discussion when you have 64 orders of spicy sushi and buttered samosas. I don't think you you butter samosas, ever but I wanted an adjective and I wasted spicy on the sushi.

    well, the sushi could be spicy... and we could rub butter on the samosas... there is no stopping us. we can do whatever the heck we want. that's what i am throwing down!

  8. You're throwing down buttered samosas? Doesn't your boss tend to frown upon that sort of thing? Especially if the customers are watching you chuck their soon to be consumed food on to the floor.
