Monday Week 2

In my opinion, today went by smoothly for a first day. I really enjoy cooking--especially things that I have never made before. I thought that Sarah, Andrea, Jeff, and I all worked well together. I feel like once we get used to everything it will go even better.

The only part that I thought didn't go well was the fact that we didn't know where a lot of things were located in the kitchen which slowed things down. Others seemed to think that today was hectic, but I didn't. I have worked in a restaurant as a server/bartender/prep cook for the past three years so I am used to the fast paced environment--I actually enjoy it.

I learned how to cook corn chowder! It smelled really good but I hate potatoes so I didn't try any for lunch. I also learned where some important items are located, and that I should cut the potatoes into bite size pieces next time. I am looking forward to using the nutritional software and manipulating recipes later in the quarter.

In order to improve for next class I could try to visualize where everything is located in the kitchen so that things may run a little quicker.
