I Got A Job!

I got a job!  Well, technically speaking I got another job but the new one is more than once a week.  I was sent a text on Tuesday this week asking if I could come in for a training session for a new ice cream store opening on Saturday.  The place is called Scroll.  The owners were in Thailand and saw how the street vendors sold ice cream and got inspired to start a business.  The original is a pop-up in Melbourne but this is their first real store.

What is Thai style ice cream?  Basically you pour the ice cream liquid (cream and some other "secret" ingredients) onto a really cold plate. You then move the liquid around and it starts to freeze and turn into ice cream.  Once it reaches a certain consistency, you spread it out in a thin layer and then scrape it off the plate. This causes the ice cream to form rolls.  It's kind of like making scrambled eggs but not with eggs and using cold instead of heat.  

Below is a video of how they make it in Thailand:

Depending on the hours/pay, I am almost for sure going to stop work at the club which will be a nice relief. It's really exhausting working there and I'm getting pretty sick of being covered in unknown substances all night. Last night I worked at Scroll and then immediately worked at the club.  It was an almost 13 hour work day between the two so I am pretty tired today.

In other news, I'm loving my new living location.  The neighborhood has a great vibe and the house is close to town and another main shopping/restaurant street called The Parade. Getting this job means I hopefully won't have to stress about money too much anymore and I will have something to do during the day.  What a great week!

That's all for now.  Bye.
