Line Cook Experience (December 2nd)

This was the first day i got to work in the kitchen. I worked with Brian as a mentor and Megan from class. We worked with Tom a little bit too, he helped us out when Brian had to check on food. We got to help Brian bake pastries and make muffins. I liked today because it was kind of easy and there wasn't any gross food. I had fun making the muffins. The first thing i had to do was open more packages of different kinds of muffin mix and poor it into different containers. After that i labeled each container with today's date and the kind of brand the muffin mix was, that way they knew when to use it by. After that i got to scoop the muffin mix into the muffin trays. It was one tray for each different kind of muffin mix. After i was done with that, i got to glaze the pastries. I didn't care to much for this because the glaze had a weird smell to it. When i was done with all that me and Megan picked up our area because that is important to do that way your not leaving your station a mess for anyone else to have to pick up, and then it was time to leave. Brian has a lot of responsibilities. He has to make sure that food is made on time and is done right. He has to know how much to cook. I learned that this job can be stressful, because if something goes wrong he gets in trouble for it. He seemed like he enjoyed what he does seeing how he has worked in the kitchen since he has been 16. Today's spirit to serve was, "Respect." Brian and Tom both showed that towards Megan and I, as well as us giving them respect back.
