Another week has gone by and I’ve been pretty busy doing some new things.
This week wasn’t as exciting as last week, but I guess that’s normal. When you start you get to do all the new things that you’ve never done before, but by the time the second or third week comes around, it’s all old news. I did all the normal things like helping Nate, Kevin, Barb or Erin with things they needed me to do and then helping Deb, Nancy and Steve after lunch. The first exciting thing of that week was on Wednesday when Nate told me I had to create a soup dish for lunch. That was pretty scary as I didn’t know that I was doing that until that very moment. Oh well, I was glad it went really well and people actually liked my soup.
The highlight of the week definitely had to be cooking for Mike’s family, advisory and the Annex girl’s. Even though I’ve cooked for big occasions before, I’ve always had some sort of help. Whether it’s cooking the rice or slicing the beef, those are some of the things that people have helped me do beforehand. Therefore, cooking this meal has made me realize how many things are involved with making a larger meal. I can’t imagine what it must be like preparing a six or eight course meal! I only had to do four and I struggled real bad! They were easy dishes too! You don’t realize the complexity of doing easy dishes if you have a couple of dishes to do at once. It was definitely a good lesson to learn. As I mentioned in the blog, I was extremely pleased that my efforts in cooking the meal was rewarded by everyone having a fantastic meal. Even though the meal was labor intensive, it was also really fun sitting down and having a meal with a group of people that don’t eat together often.
