We finished the sanitation block. Now I just have to pass my test tomorrow. I'm not too worried; it's multiple guess and it's just pass/fail. Even better, there is no pressure. My passing or failing will have no effect on my class standing, I'll just have to take it again later.
After the test we start learning how to bake. Well, actually we're going to go over the fun toys we got in our kits at orientation and then have a knife skills lesson. There will also be a tour of both of TCA's working kitchens (Ventana and Bleu River Grille). Friday we start the baking. I believe it will be cookies, but the principal lesson is supposed to be baking methodology (i.e. prep, cleaning, following the recipe, weighing ingredients, etc.). I'm still looking forward to eating my first project.
It's now day 2 with the devil schnauzer (my mom's dog, Shadow). She's a bona fide pain in the ass. She won't eat unless we put her food in little piles on the floor and it's kinda hard to keep Cali (this blog's namesake) out of those little piles while Shadow decides whether or not she's going to eat them. Thankfully I've only got one of them. Max, the other one, is with Sister #2 in Rockwall. So far as I'm concerned, he can ephin (pronounce it phonetically) stay there. The other problem with Shadow is that she has no idea how to play with Cali. This leaves my poor puppy very confused and, at least in my head, a little hurt. How could anyone not want to play with her?
Two days left in week one. I've learned how to tie that damn cravat, at least I think I have, and now I'm ready to bake. I just have to prove to ServSafe that I know how not to get sued in the process.
