Cold

This is a contrasting post to the one I posted on August 1, 2008 titled, "Hot". The weather has been so crazy cold. The other day when I was driving to work at 4:30am in the morning the thermometer on my car read 1 degree Fahrenheit. Just like our kitchen, located in the basement, doesn't have air conditioning in the summer it also doesn't have heat in the winter. And let me tell you, it is freaking cold! I go to work with a pair of tights on, my chef pants, and a pair of snowboarding pants, a long sleeve shirt, a long sleeved hoodie, my chef's coat, an apron, and two pairs of socks! My hands and fingers get so cold they become numb which makes shelling tart dough into rings really difficult. Forget about stepping foot into the walk-in. I try to drink hot tea and coffee to keep warm but the cup just keeps getting cold before I can drink it. Looking back on my "Hot" post, I can't remember how it feels to be hot. All I know now is the cold.
