Sixth Week Spring Quarter

Evidently my post for this week either didn't post, or I didn't get around to writing about my time in the veggie station area. The station manager is a vegetarian and comes up with many interesting recipes for us to try.We get quite a bit of chopping experience on this station and fix several dishes of swiss chard, including one with the chopped stems mixed with dried cranberries. The students working with me are pretty efficient, and we usually are able to clean up and leave right after we pull the left overs off the cafeteria line. Some left overs are reheated the next day and some are sent to the soup station to be used in the cooked soup.
In theory practice we make Baked Alaska dessert. We make delicious sponge cakes in small containers, put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle and cover the whole thing with whipped meringue, which we broil. I am so impressed that I make them at home for practice.
Sugar, sugar...I am not getting any thinner.
