Culinary School


Okay, it's been a few days since I last posted...thanks for noticing Rama...
It's been a bit busier that I expected; a lot of reading and studying.
This week should be fun; I was assigned Kitchen Manager for the week. This is the first week the Chef Instructors start assigning management roles. They put me first on the list. I think it may be because I am the oldest in the class and have a lot of management experience, albeit not in a professional kitchen so this will be interesting. I am looking forward to it but at the same time I am also a bit apprehensive. I don't like to mess up...I was originally hoping someone else would get the KM role first so I could watch and learn but no such luck. Oh well, I will do what I always try to do...my best. I just hope I learn and retain what I learn.
We also have our 2nd quiz tomorrow...hope I do well on that. I would really love to graduate with honors (95% grade level or higher).
I did get a small gig this week. I am assisting an inaugural party on Tuesday. I won't be doing much cooking, mainly set up and such. If they need it, I may prepare something. But the nice thing about this is I will get my name and face out to some affluent people. I hope that will translate to some private chef jobs.
Well, need to finish studying and get some rest before a big week.
