NEXT! // What the actual f**k is going on? Crazy pace to life eh? All swirl and death dances. Make snacks, have pints, move on. This week we'll once more be ensuring that a room exists where people can drink, eat and listen to nice tunes. It's popular now, like market manipulation and human trafficking.
WEDNESDAY// I'll be in the kitchen all day behind the curtain, changing the state of various foods and refrigerating them so that in the future they can be turned into dishes; chef wankers love calling it 'prep'. I'll walk off about 5 or 6 and there'll be lovingly made snacks on the bar that will pair perfectly with fine cask ale or the final gallons of the exceptional Helles we have on from The Runaway Brewery. It'll run out soon, the vanity photography project will be over. Hopefully there's some sort of red l***r coming up to follow it that we can use as a celebratory beverage whilst we suck ourselves off for having managed to keep a daft little bar open for four years.
THURSDAY// Pizza - you've heard of that right? Disc-shaped food. Italians make it, the Lebanese do it better. F**k Israel. Pulling a few bits out of the freezer, getting a few beautiful ingredients from our fine food supplier, working the dough mixer. It'll be nice, I'm experienced.
LUNCH // It happens every week, Thursday and Friday. Cup of coffee? Slice of cake? Nice, have a seat, a butty, watch the traffic. I'm in a focaccia phase and am going to make some sausage butties. I won't force you to have salad, I'll get some brown sauce. Butty shops are dying, support your local half-baked bakery.
FRIDAY & SATURDAY// They just play themselves out don't they? I'll make sure there's bar snacks. Friday night will have a luxurious array, Saturday I'll be resting but there'll be something to scran on.
SUNDAY// We're back, seasonal snacks, lovely little menu, great day in the bar. Get in early, go bed early before the horror of Monday returns (Monday is actually arguably the best day at RA). No DJ booked at the moment, dropped the ball a bit, will probably start phoning the lads around Thursday if I don't get it sorted. What's Jed up to? Not seen Wineboy in a while. Let's see who picks up.
