So today I finished off the chocolate balls since they weren't all good enough quality in my opinion to serve and showed them to Chef. They passed! He said he'll use them with the special tomorrow which was exciting to hear. Otherwise it was no different than any other day. Every day at work I pretty much do the same things. Cut vegetables from around 9:30 am to 6pm then depending on how many people are working at the time I get to help out on the line. Today there were 3 people already on the line so I pretty much just got to watch. I made mirepoix in the morning, I chopped onions and herbs for the meatloaf, which is covered in bacon and quite tasty. I made Tempura batter by making a stiff peaked marang out of egg whites then folded in the yolks gently. It's getting really difficult to type about work without repeating other posts the more and more that I work. Considering there are only 5 days left, I have to post after every day of work to get my 10 posts.
On the down side I may have discovered that I have carpal tunnel syndrome. My hand kept going numb and getting the "pins and needles" sensation while I was chopping vegetables. This is the only time that this has happened but it has me worried for sure. Hopefully all I did was pinch a nerve but time will tell I suppose. On the upside, my parents will be eating brunch at the Grain House tomorrow, I hope to get the chance to go out and say hi to them during the fray, but, I don't have high hopes for that. Even though it is a routine job, it's a very busy job. I do my best to keep busy every day, along with the other prep workers we drill through the "to do" list that hangs on the wall. Since my externship ends soon, hopefully I'll get some time to actually work on some homework as well.
Till next time!
