Day 3 - Wednesday September 23, 2009

Everything we make is measured in grams, pounds, ounces, etc. When I post my recipes I will try and convert them to something people can make at home without owning a scale.

Day 3:
Today I was back in the kitchen practicing my knife skills again. I was in charge of cutting up fresh fruit boxes (just like the vegetable boxes the day before, 14 ounces) for the breakfast and lunch lines. I spent the morning cutting up pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberries and grapes. It went pretty fast and they all looked good. When I was finished with that, I cut vegetables for the Navajo tacoes we served for lunch. I prepped tomatoes, onions, lettuce and got out the cheese and olives. After I finished that, I was given the job to julienne 3 pounds of onions for a party that evening.

When I finished chopped everything, I plated more of my banana sheet cake and put it out on the line for lunch.

After I finished my list of things to do that day, I was talking with Adrienn and Rex and we were telling him things we liked to cook, etc. My cooking blog came up and I showed it to him and he was impressed at how much I knew already about cooking.

I left that day with the feeling that the next day I would get to do more than chop vegetables all day long.
