Our first quiz is today, covering the first two chapters of our 20 lb book. It is open book but helpful to have read and studied the chapters, (which I had). The chapters cover the history of French cooking and food safety.
I am on the chef's station again this week. One of the students with me is a skinny kid who looks about 18 years old. Some of our jobs are chopping vegetables for stir fry tomorrow, frying the garden burgers on the flat grill, transferring leftovers into clean pans, and thawing the frozen fish in plastic bags under cold running water. Learning to clean the hot flat grill when we are finished using it is tricky, to avoid burning your hands. We spread vegetable oil on the grill and use some sort of a pumice stone to scrape off the burned bits while it is hot.
One of the fellas sitting at the lunch table today mentions the cooking jobs he had in prison. It is an interesting group!
