Thanksgiving at Sea

This Thanksgiving I got my own Chef's Uniform, complete with Ship's Crest.  It turns out that even the "Small" size is a bit too large for me.  this one needs some tailoring to be presentable, which didn't stop me from working the serving line for most of the meal this evening.

This is my leading Cook, or Culinary Specialist.  He's a huge personality in his own right.  He supervises the preparation and serving of more than 900 meals daily, and some amazing special meals like today's feast.  The food is always good, and when you're stuck at sea for a month at a time with only the stuff you brought, (even if there is a lot of pre-prepared drek) good food is important. 

Sometimes we do get to make stuff from scratch though - I cut about half the bag of potatoes that filled this pot on Wednesday evening.  Suppo was a little concerned when she saw me with a knife in my hand, noting that usually they only let me have fruit or other soft items to use as a projectile.  (I didn't hurt anyone though, not even myself.)

Happy Thanksgiving!
