We have done the bit with chowders, our team made corn chowder and it turned out wonderful. The last type of soup to do is bean. We were to do that today, but chef is sick and he called off class for today. Monday you could tell he was suffering with sinus and respiratory stuff, but was pretty sure he would make it there today. I guess it got worse.
Our team will make split pea tomorrow while others make lentil, navy/white bean and spicy black bean.
I get to be in a group with Kristen again! Two days in a row! It’s been such a long time since we worked together. She sits next to me and she is my best friend in class. But, because we sit next to each other, and we number off, we’re always sent different ways. The soups were done by whoever wanted which flavor, so I picked what she wanted and there we go. Trevor was also in our group, which is nice, I don’t get to work with him either since we sit one after another in line when we count off.
Thursday is our final, and it looks like a toughie. All the items from the last two test will be on there plus some more information. The last test I didn’t do so well, probably a C+ or so, which is odd. This is the first time I have ever missed more than 2 on any one assignment. It has me pretty bummed. The second to last test was a tricky one, we had to memorize a ton of info, then last second we were allowed to use our notes. I think I will do well, I know where I messed up on the last test so as long as I can keep all that info floating around in my brain I should do ok.
After our final, we will begin talking about the next class, “Breakfast”. We are moving to a different kitchen and will be serving meals to real live customers, and having a buffet every Friday.
