Ballroom Blitz: Chef Style

  Last night was practically the most intense test I have ever taken. It was actually a edible midterm where we had to cook a menu item for a certain amount of time, and with so many people in the kitchen at the same time. Now the kitchen was big, but it was stressful with all my other class mates running around and trying so hard to be the best. It was like Iron Chef but with more chefs and more its more intimidating. Tell you the truth, I was scared that I would end up burning myself or cut myself with the other people running around. Luckily, a fellow chef named Kelly assisted me with some other tasks that needed some attention and gave me a few tips to get through the endeavor. So I give Kudos points to my partner in crime to help me through the midterm.

  Other then that, the week was more manageable and I'm starting to get the feel how collage goes. I'm planing to get my endurance through long walks and exercising more. Which brings me to today's industry secret. 

  Industry Secret: Chefs need to keep going in the kitchen, so that is why chefs need to exercise because we need to be constantly moving to and from the kitchen. We also use predetermined routes to see where we need to go and see how to get there the fastest.

   Another thing I have to do is to make the Animal Hugger sandwiches on Tuesday for another edible midterm,rearrange the project and write a resume for hospitality class and so many other things. I just hope, I can handle this much pressure.
