Calm before the storm...

Long week.

It started on Monday.

We took our ServSafe test...the big one...the one that tests us on all the safety and handling of food in the kitchen. I studied hard for it hoping to get 100% on it...we shall see...we don't get the results for two weeks. I have no doubt I passed it but you all know me.

Then, as the week progressed, we had a power outage during one lunch service...we had a large group come in three days in a row about 10-15 minutes before we closed...and when I say large, I mean like 20 and up...and they got all upset they we ran out of stuff...REALLY!?!?!?...we are a teaching academy...not your local applebees!! so don't get all upiddy when we don't have your stuff!!!

We also had a super fancy banquet to serve in a conference room in the back for 30 people...that was fun...having to coordinate our staff between the floor and serving them was a chore...no biggie...I was Captain for two of the days and when you in charge, you have to make sure people are covered when they take breaks and make sure everything is taken care of...bummer was I had to nix breaks on Friday cause of how busy we were and a lot of our staff/students had to help with the banquet...some of the students were mad that I didn't let them take breaks...but such is life.

Funny statement made to me...one of the students was joking around with me and said something to me about not reading the book on "how to make friends and influence people"...I just responded that "I have plenty of friends thank you!" LOL.

Oh well...overall a good week though.

We are touching upon menus now...recipe conversions...pricing out a recipe...determining menu prices...stuff like that...pretty cool stuff.

Next week promises to be a little crazy. We have our large fundraiser next week on Friday. I also have my first official general meeting of ACF as Junior president on Monday night...and all during the course of next week we will be preparing for the fundraiser on Friday...promises to be quite hectic...but from what I've heard, should be a fun event.

Monday early, I have to help pick up blocks of ice for the ice sculptures for this event...pretty cool, huh...get it...cool...I made a funny there..cool...ice...oh nevermind!!!

anyway...going to relax and study on sunday...going to practice making poached eggs...I've never done that before...so should be fun...I hope...going to have some bacon with it...anyone want to come over and taste my progress!!??!?!
