Doctored


There has been silence here for a bit. It's not because I haven't been working at the restaurant, but rather  because almost all my creative energy has been spent writing my doctoral thesis. But now, as of Friday afternoon, I'm a Ph.D. All the restaurant was invited to my thesis defense and, of course, we celebrated at Bloom. Pictured is the absolutely epic cake made by Titti and André and decorated by the very artistic Debbie (someone suggested, after quite a few glasses of champagne, that the cake was probably misspelled and meant to say "Smart ass Dr Taylor"...). After having given myself Saturday off, Vicky and I ran Afternoon Tea as usual today. And yes, the joke in vogue is to run into the kitchen yelling "Dr Taylor to table 5, paging Dr Taylor to table 5".
This is not the end of my working at Bloom. I love the job and I love my co-workers (well, mostly.... haha), and I don't think I could live without it. So, I'll be around - lending scientific credibility to the service. I might be a statistical improbability, but hey - what would science (and life) be without the outliers?
