Yesterday was Valentines Day and to a single guy like me, its a real torment for me to see other couples getting it on in front of me. There was one thing that really made my day though. In my Culinary Food Prep class, we started production for cooking things ahead of time for Tuesdays lunch and I made the best tomato sauce I ever made. In fact my chef said it was so perfect, it didn't need any seasoning. I felt so accomplished and so happy working on the line, I forgot my Valentine's day blues and felt a soreness in my legs telling me that I did a great job. It just comes to show you that cooking can really help people feel good about the life they have and to have a sense of accomplishment that you made a product that its wholesome and delicious.
I am also getting ready for my first "lab" on Wednesday night, where I get to serve. So far I am only going to serve drinks so far, since the first 3 weeks are buffet style. Its not as exciting as serving but I think its a good start for me who is new to this experience.
There is actually a reason why I'm starting as a server then a cook at the back-of-the-house. As a server, I get to see the entire operation from the front-of-the-house and the back-of-the-house. As I go about serving, I can see how everything is combined together into this big production and what to expect as I work my way up to the back-of-the-house. For now, I am a server but I will work my way up to go into something greater to come.
For now, I bid you a-do and I hope to see some familiar faces on Wednesday nights.
