Trinity

Trinity was excited about her first day at the Bistro, and about the taste testing, if there was one thing she loved it was food, especially really, really good food.

When she reached the resteraunt she fixed her hair and then walked in, looking around for Lacey. The place seemed pretty active, looked like all the finishing touches were being put on, the place was beautiful.

Lacey came out of the bathrooms at the back shoving the now empty bag of toiletries into the garbage behind the coffee counter. She looked up as Trinity entered. She brushed some hair out of her eyes. "Early good... I like that. I like that. Come on back into the kitchen I'll intro you to the guys." Lacey rambled as she ushured Trinity back into the kitchen. A small table was set up next to the counters in the kitchen. 3 Men were already moving about the kitchen.

"Carlo is in the back there he's our cold chef, salads, sandwhiches, desserts. Andre is our head chef and hot chef, and Jeannie is our sous chef and will be running around trying to help both of them." Lacey laughed.

"Ok have a seat I'm just waiting for 2 more of the servers to join us and we'll start tasting everthing on the menu." Lacey laughed.

Already seated at the table was a gawky young man reddish brown hair was uncombed and hanging in his face he kept his head dead for the most part. Dressed in all black he didn't look up until.

"I'll just see if they other two have arrived." Lacey said heading back out of the kitchen.

The kid looked up. "You ever waitered before?" He asked nervously of Trinity.

She followed as Lacey ushered her into the back and intoduced her to the kitchen staff. She hadn't expected such a gourmet atmosphere it was very pleasent. After Lacey had left the room she sat down across the table from the scrawny redhaired boy. She was suprised to here him speak and quickly answered giving him a friendly smile as she answered.

" Yes I've waitressed many times, it's not so tuff, mainly just organizing things in your head, once you can do that it's a piece of cake. And don't let the grumpy customers get to you, no matter how well you do, there will always be a grump once in a while." She said reasuringly.

" My names Trinity, and you are." She said extending her hand across the table towards the young man.

AJ put his hand out sheepishly and weakly shook her hand. "AJ I'm totally new at this. I worked at a fast food place but I never waited tables. I hope I do ok. Lacey seems like she can be bit erm rough around the edges sometimes. I'm not to worried about grumpy customers but a grumpy boss. I mean I worked in fast food. This is so not fast food." He said as he passed her the typed up menu that started with a mescilin and endive salad with goat cheese and ended with a creme brulee sampler with a few panninis thrown in along with the more bistroesque entree.

"I'm used to hamburger and fries not." He looked at the menu "Mushrooms stuffed with cheese." He said pointing to the Feta & Spinach Portobello "portobello mushroom stuffed with sauteed spinach and feta cheese, served with a side salad and stuffed grape leaves"

"I'm sorry I'm babbling again aren't I? I do that when I'm nervous."

The kitchen door swung open and Lacey entered with another male and female in toe. "Yes you do AJ. I told you you would be fine. I wouldn't have hired you if I didn't think so. You'll get the run down of the menu tonight and everything will be fine. Ok boys set us up."

Lacey called to the cooks and they brought over the salads first setting a fork before everyone. "Hope everyone doesn't mind sharing." Lacey said

Carlo pointed to each salad in turn and pointed out what they were. "Endive and mesculin crumbled goat cheese with a sliced beets and a rasberry vinagrette. Tabouleh & Roasted Vegetable Salad. a normal mixed green salad I put each of our dressings on the side. Those are all made here so please try them all. There's a honey mustard poppy seed, thats the house dressing, creamy italian, thousand island, french, peppercorn ranch and blue cheese." Carlo stepped away and let them taste.

Lacey spoke as she picked up her forks. "I'd like everyone to try everything. Even if you don't think you'll like it. I won't you to know what you are serving. A customer may ask how something is. I like you to be honest. But if you don't like something say something like. Oh it's not really my thing but it's very creamy with fresh crumbled of blue cheese." Lacey said as she forked some lettuce and dunked it in the blue cheese dressing. She obviously didn't like blue cheese but she was trying it.

Trinity gave a light hearted laugh, " don't worry hun, no one know's what all this stuff is, we're all learning it fresh so, cheer up you got plenty of time to figure it all out.

When Lacey returned she began chattering on, it amused Trinity, and cemented her idea that she would like her boss. She watched as the woman began tasting the blue cheese that she so obviously didn't care for, personally Trinity thought it all look very good, and could hardly wait to dig in.

She looked over at AJ, it looked as if perhaps the site of all that food had distracted the growing young lad from all of his worries for a moment.

AJ picked up his fork as Lacey began digging in. He decided to go right for the stuff he didn't know anything about. Going right for the tabouleh salad. *What the hell is tabouleh?* He wondered as he forked full of the grainy looking salad and slid it into his mouth. CUpping his hand under his fork to catch any spills.

After another forkful he decided he liked the tabelouh salad. It had a slightly curry taste to it. But the vegetables brightened it up.

He began sampling everything. Looking over at Trinity he smiled. Actually making some comments about the food which Carlo nodded to and explained to him the different flavors.

Next appetizers were brought out. There was the stuffed mushrooms. A spinach dip, hummus, and of all things potato skins.

Lacey laughed. "Ok these are totally my weakness so I had t o have them on the menu. I prefer mine the traditional bacon and cheese but we have 4 choices. traditional, brocoli and cheese, beans and cheese or chili and cheese." Each was represented before them along with the other appatizers.

This went on as they brought out the dinners, panini sandwhiches, steak and chicken kabobs, mini pizzas that looked like they had salad on top, veggie, turkey and regular burgers.

Aj Tasted everything and halfway through the appetizers he started making notes on a little steno pad he pulled from his back pocket. There was just too much to remember. And he wanted to impress the boss.

The other two waiters ate in silence barely commenting on anything. The man also taking a few notes.
