Today at the internship I worked as a cook. It was more fun than sitting in the office. The head cook was impressed at how fast I got everything done, which is funny because I always thought of myself as a slow cook (not to be confused with a slow cooker). Anyway, I did beef sausage, pork sausage links, French toast, pancakes, and chicken dumplings. This was the first time I had seen dumplings--I guess it's a "S'th'rn thang".

I am working on two trainings: one is proper use of knives, and the other is hand washing. I will present these trainings to the employees next week. It is funny because these folks have been in the business much longer than I, but I have to teach them how to use a knife. I have an idea for a fun way to present hand washing, but I don't know how fun I can get with the knives. Maybe I could bring in some Japanese Knife Artist, and say "don't try this in the kitchen." Or make some cool apple bird and say, "this is what can be done when handling a knife properly." I don't know--I just don't want it to be the next cure for insomnia. Any ideas?
