first day of school

well, the first day is behind me. and boy, am i in for a ride!

i’m really excited for what is coming. right now i’m taking culinary skills 1 and food service sanitation. they are two classes that kind of piggy-back on to each other. i stay in the same classroom for the whole five hours of classes from 7am-12noon. in this class we will be going over basic knife skills and the general rules of the kitchen regarding sanitation. we learn about a lot of food borne illnesses and how to prevent them, which is probably an important part of food service.

i’m really looking forward to it. so far i have really appreciated the high standard that western culinary institute holds. it makes for a better learning experience all around when both the students and chefs are holding higher expectations, from the strict uniform policy to the attention to great detail in skill.

things are going to be crazy, but i’m going to have a blast!
