Goodbye Organic Works!

Yesterday was my last day as the retail purchaser for Organic Works... and it was really hard for me. The staff there have become like my family over these past few months! Peter and Kate were like my cool parents who gave me so much independence in my job, the Chef was like my best friend who I just immediately clicked with, and Brady was like my favourite older brother who was always good for ranting to when or for sharing a few laughs.

The food at the cafe was also amazing - I'm going to miss the food almost as much as the people! I loved everything I ate there, but these were some of my favourites:

Best comfort food meal: Spaghetti squash lasagna with quinoa noodles, sweet potato, spinach, and pounds of mozzarella cheese and garlic toast topped with pesto and cheese on the side.

Best dessert: Nanaimo bars!

Best ethnic dish: Saigon style sweet potato and tempeh curry over brown basmati rice.

Best veggie burger: I've eaten a lot of Chef's veggie burgers and they're all good, but this falafel burger on a focaccia bun with tahini sauce was the best!

Best sandwich: Local roasted turkey on buckwheat bread with avocado spread, tomato, sprouts, red onion, and Dijon. I think I've ordered this sandwich at least 10 times and it never gets old.

Best salad: Massaged kale salad with avocado, nori, marinated tempeh, and toasted hemp seeds. I actually gave Chef the idea for this salad, so I was so excited when she put it on the regular daily menu! Her version is way better than any massaged kale salad I've ever made.

What is the best job you've ever had?
