Semester 2, Week 3: Super Bowel, Training to Serve and the True Meaning of Coffee

    This Sunday was the Super Bowel and I made some of my famous "Oven-Roasted" Buffalo Wings for the game. ( I will put up the recipe later this month.)   I also made some special sandwiches for the two opposing teams that participated this year. For Pittsburgh, I created the "Steakhouse style" Permaniti sandwich, stuffed with oven baked steak fries, chuck steak and pressed between two Panera baguettes. For the Green Bay Packers, I made a cheesy creation known as Green Bay Sub where I heat up the turkey slices and melt the cheese with chicken broth. I placed the turkey cheese combo on french bread with lettuce and tomato and pressed for only a second to get that cheesy creation.

   Aside from that, I was also preparing myself for serving in the dinning room. We had to learn how to walk with trays, being curtious to the guest, and all the other things that would scare a first-timer like myself.I just keep to saying to myself "you can do this. You can do this," and "don't fall, don't fall, don't fall." So hopefully nothing would fall over, overfill or my table would be disappointed.

   As you may know, I am a big espresso fanatic where I order drinks that some people think its from the moon but one day, I tried the regular coffee to just drink it for kicks. As I took that first sip, I remember why I loved coffee. It was a reminder that when I was going to school that is 2 hours away from where I live and where I rode the bus early that morning. When I started to drink coffee, I always carry a big canister of coffee and drink it on the way there. It made feel like the world would improve itself and a new day just started. That is the true meaning of coffee, to be awake for the future and to stay awake for every precious moment in life. So from now on, I would drink the original but ever evolving hot coffee.

   On that note, I would bid you a-do but before I do, I encourage everyone to comment on the website or e-mail me about anything because I love feedback and suggestions for me to do things. So keep the comments coming and I will post something new soon.
