weekly journal

The first couple of days are over and basically I'm pretty satisfied with my placement i know a hotel was my first choice but the Niblick turned out to be a great place to work in and i have no regrets about not taking the hotel placement at the country inn. I still have a lot of learning to do, mostly to do with the preparation of the dishes but i think i have the basics about how the kitchen works down and the people there are great teachers. I learned how to do a lot of prep-work that is essential to being ready when the rush comes. Prep work includes making the portions of various items like rice, beef, pasta. Additionally it also includes chopping up different vegetables that go into the sauces and making the sauces. I met the manager and owner who are both pretty down to earth guys and also some of the day staff. I look forward to learning more about the kitchen and eventually getting some experience outside of it Sometimes there is not much for me do do because im waiting for stuff to get cooked which takes some time but it isnt a peoblem because its a pretty busy kitchen so i usually just shadow agatha making the salads or use my free time to help the servers with the dishes in the back. Its been a great couple days so far, i cant't complain and i am curious to see what ill be doing on monday.
