Javier’s Summer Job at Cibo

One day, Jaime happily announces to us that he got his brother, Javier a summer job!  I love it that my son is learning to use his connections! 🙂 Apparently, he contacted his good friend, Amado ( son of Gaita Fores ), and asked him to get Javier a summer job at Cibo 🙂  What a good brother!  He has been so frustrated that Javier is not making use of his summer so  he made the initiative to get him something to do…and the beauty of it is it is right beside where Jaime has his summer job at Starbucks 🙂

Tita Gaita brought him into the kitchen

I saw these posters on the kitchen door!  And I love them!  This is why Gaita is so successful!

Day 3 at training, I went to visit him to check on him and just as I suspected, the first thing I see in the window – Javier eating lunch!  It was 1130am!  I told Gaita that I think Javier’s incentive to go to work is to have his meal! He loves Cibo food!

Pizza!! He was describing to me his pizza with so much passion!! Then I left him to work

I went back in the afternoon and peeped thru the kitchen hole and there he was cooking!!  I was happy because that is what he really likes!  And I am happy he is learning about the business because he keeps telling me that one day he wants to open his own restaurant.  Well, what better way than to learn from one who is successful now like Tita Gaita! Thank you Gaita!!!

We requested for Javier to cook our meal – we will not mind if it is not perfect 🙂 He is not allowed to cook for customers yet since he is not yet professionally ready to do so, so when we ordered we made sure he was allowed to cook for us and they let him 🙂

The famous Telefono!  Everyone is asking Javier for the recipe but he does not know either! 🙂  Good system by Gaita!

Pasta Valentin ordered by Javier but not cooked by him, he wanted to rest and eat…..  “Mom, I’m tired, I’ve been standing all day!  I punched out already” 🙂

    Wow, admire your two boys,rica! Very good you start them young. We have tried Javier’s cooking one time at your parents home and I will be not be surprised if he becomes an excellent chef one day. Keep it up Jaime & Javier!

  • Jocelyn says:

    Hi Rica, you are raising your boys very well! It’s nice to see young men display such a strong work ethic and enthusiasm for life. I would also like to thank you for sharing that very powerful prayer, which I shall start including in my daily prayers. I really love your blog and never fail to check it everyday for my daily dose of eye candy and inspiration (my faves are always pics of yummy food!). More power to you!

    Love the smile on his face! He must’ve had a blast in the kitchen!

  • MargaritaFores says:

    Thank you Rica, for letting Javier train with us! He is so knowledgeable about food at such a young age…his passion is immeasurable! The staff learns so much from him too! The telefono is not so difficult to make….can share it with you here! Just start with a good homemade fresh tomato sauce, seasoned with a touch of garlic, salt and freshly ground pepper, as a base. When the pasta is ready, just strain, and add on to a saucepan with the warmed tomato sauce. Add cream, and toss gently, till you get a nice pink tomato sauce. Quickly add nuggets of mozzarella that should melt quickly, (apparently the melted mozzarella resembled telephone lines and thats where it got its name!) and freshly grated parmigiano. Add some torn basil leaves, some chilli pepper flakes, and a few grates of whole nutmeg. Double check for seasoning and serve immediately! Use pasta water to thin pasta down if it gets too thick. Hope your readers enjoy trying to make it! Please share this recipe with Javier!

  • Heart2Heart says:

  • MargaritaFores says:

    Shared with you from the heart because you are so kind too! By the way, your goodie bag was so super amazing! That can of whole peeled tomatoes was the best ever…..used it to make spaghetti and meatballs for our President! it almost seemed like i bought them fresh from an Italian market….will get more to use at work! Thanks again and see you soon…..will try to visit Javier tomorrow!

  • Heart2Heart says:
