Thursday May 12th, 2011
I just realized that due to the website problems, I didn't post my blog for Thursday yet. Anyway here it is.
Earth Day!!! The day when everyone does something environmentally friendly! In the kitchen, we were busy preparing all vegetarian dishes (on the hot line that is). The first thing I did when I came in (after washing my hands) was to dice the onion, carrot and celery for the brown rice pilaf. After that I proceeded to cook the veggies and finished making the rice pilaf. The amazing thing about this dish was that it was entirely made by me. I followed Nate's instructions but he told me to add however many handfuls of different herbs I wanted. That was pretty amazing. I got to customize a dish for the whole school! The better thing about it was latter on during and after meal time, many people came up to me and told me the rice pilaf was very very good. I was very happy and proud of myself. Upon finishing the rice pilaf, I started to make a cheese polenta. Nate normally uses (I forgot what) cheese(s) but I decided to go with a plain parmesan polenta. I also got to make this dish by myself and people said this dish was really good. Those two things were my main events for the morning. For the rest of the morning, I just helped Kevin cut some tomatoes and shred some lettuce for the re-fried beans and chop spring onions and tofu for the miso soup. Even though they're were people who were disappointed that there wasn't any meat out (on the hot line), the majority of the people really liked what we served for lunch.
After lunch I helped Deb and Nancy clean the main dinning hall and then helped set up the area for the stir fry section. I know everyone will love it! After that, Barb told me to take the rest of the afternoon off but to be back in the kitchen by 4:45.
