Last week of second block and finals

This week has been almost easy and fun. First day, it was breakfast day and I had a lot of fun doing that one. Before, I was not comfortable to cook eggs since I seen it as challenging, but now I am really comfortable and look forward to cook breakfast for my family on christmas break. Funny story that after we left the kitchen, I had my fried egg and it had pink dots everywhere. I did not bother to try it because nobody knows what is it and Google has no answer. Next day, it was pasta and that was fun too, not as much as fun as breakfast day. It was sort of challenging with pasta station like three people are using it and it is time consuming. It seems strange that a lot of classmates prefer pasta day over breakfast because they did not get a lot of stuff. I disagree and prefer breakfast day because I got a lot of stuff done. I was sous Chef for Tuesday and Wednesday when my partner Iris and I had to prep stocks, get the station ready, collect all of the ingredients for Chef's demo. It was little stressful when Iris had two fingers bleeding and we had no time to cut all of mire poix and hurry up with finishing his demo. With stocks, we had to cut mire poix, cleaning the kettle, put liquids in walk in fridge to cool. It was hard when we had all of the bones in oven, ready to get out, but we did not have mire poix to put them in oven and make veal stock. It was stressful and overwhelming, but we got it done in class after we came back from classroom. The presentation was great, I guess. I did not have fun talking in front of class. Iris and I had our own parts like she did the powerpoints and I write the answers to key points from the book on word document. We worked well together as teams and we did pretty good job.
Two events were good and fun. First event was buffet and it was American Authors concert. It was okay because it was a lot of standing and pass/refill the sandwich wraps. It was interesting with people who are allergens and others are just in general picky. One of them asked the soup Tomato Bisque was gluten free with biscuits on top. We said no, but that person grab the soup anyways. Aimee and I had so much fun putting stuff away and I put the bows on her hat. She had to say that her friend "Maddie" who did it to people told her that they like her hat. Our classmates were surprised how we got along so well and be nice to each other. We were surprised ourselves too. Although, that was not much as fun as other event on Friday. It was a total mess at first with salad plates that already went on table like three hours before the event which it seems strange. During the service, our two leaders were total mess and lost when they couldn't point a table which we need to go and they made our catering leader Cody yelling in front of guests. It was frustrating and annoying, plus sort of awkward for the guests watching us running and look like idiots. After we got all of that taken care of we got to take a break and watch Alex Boye playing. It was awesome concert and he was very kind, letting us know that our food was very good and delicious. Alissa, Colleen, and I got a picture with him. We had to do it even we were hoping that we wouldn't get in trouble. It was worth it. After the event, few of us went to iHop as our treat and get together one more time with Charyln as we are sad to see her go.
