Day 25 - October 27, 2009

Day 25:

Today to recover from being so stressed out yesterday I was put in charge of a luncheon party we had again. We were serving a turkey dinner with roasted turkey chunks, potatoes, gravy, stuffing and a roll. Rex wanted me to make up some salads for the lunch as well. I plated them all up and was debating what to put on top of them so I asked Kendall what she would want on a salad if she were to eat one. She gave me some ideas, such as shredded carrots (made with a peeler so they were ribbons), tomatoes, cheese, etc... so a guy in my class I've only ever seen like 3 times overheard her. I guess Rex told him I was in charge of salads and he was supposed to help me. I had decided to just do a red pepper ring on top with some croutons and some parmesan cheese. Boring I know. I went to the back to check the vegetable tubs we have to see what we had available, I went back to my salads and the guy was laying carrot ribbons on top of the salads!! They were in a plaid type pattern and looked awful! I was thoroughly annoyed. I then handed a red pepper to a high school kid and asked him to cut me some rings, walked to the walk in to grab some cheese, went back and the guy was putting my pepper rings on top as well! I could not believe it. I was so annoyed at that point I didn't even want to finish my salads, but kept going anyway. Rex told me later that I should have just told him to go away and taken the stuff off and did it my own way.

Anyway, after the salad fiasco I helped plate up the turkey dinner and serve it. After that, I got started on my yeast raised dough nut dough. I decided to make the dough in advance and let it sit overnight. That was pretty much it for my day.
