A word about craft services food.

I know I built the breakfast surprise into the description of my first day on the set, but it's worth going back and discussing a little more thoroughly.

The food provided (for free) as a part of a shooting day is mind-blowing beyond the pale of any working environment I've ever imagined in my life.

Breakfast and lunch are available as buffets, and these caterers are putting their backs into it. I put the estimate of the quality of this stuff at somewhere around $20 a plate food. It's not just that it's free, it's that it's good.

Steamed veggies in butter drizzles, barbecued chicken breast, steak cutlets, rice pudding, multiple salad options, multiple dessert options...I could go on.

I eat better at work than I do at home. Crazy.

It should be noted that I don't eat poorly at home. On a limited budget Alicia (and I) succeed in coming up with quite a few tasty options...but we just don't have the banking prowess to match the quality of the ingredients.

I'm not digging holes, breathing fumes, or shoveling shit. I'm getting fed for that twice a day. Never, never, never, ever, never do I want to get desensitized to that. Ever.
