So today was probably one of the best days at work. My friend started working there today and I had to train him. It was funny having him listen to me. But it was busy so I had to actually cook for a decent amount of people. I was nervous because I had to actually cook in front of people and watch them eat it in front of me. I would see if they didn't like it or if they did. Gladly only about 2 people left there plate unfinished. So I'm just going to assume that it was because they were full. I worked from 8 - 3 for a total of 7 hours. I cooked myself some French toast and sausage which is my favorite thing to eat. It was packed all day and we had a group of 8 people come in at once. It was a challenging but very rewarding day. That is all.

Saturday I worked from 9 - 3 like usual for a total of 6 hours. There was not much to do because business was slow so a challenge I had was to find something to occupy myself. I started cleaning all the containers and fill all the vegetables. I made myself a clam burger deep fried. It was pretty good but it was my first time trying clam like that so it was different. Not much special Saturday. Just a regular old day. That is all.

So today felt long at work. We had a full house for almost 3 hours straight and I was there from 9 to 4 for a total of 7 hours. In the midst of the rush I was making an orange juice and I cut myself with and orange juice so that didn't help speed up things. I made myself an habanero burger which is burger meat mixed with habanero peppers for an extra kick. I tried to make it medium rare but it just ended up being well done because I didn't know when to stop cooking the meat . I will get it down eventually. That is all.

Today I learned how to cut and dice vegetables properly with the right finger and wrist movement. You have to curl your fingers back and move from back to front in a smooth motion. I prepared all the vegetables and meats for the omelette. It was kind of slow today. I worked from 9 to 3. There was a lot of time to experiment with ingredients and make new types of food. We made a Baka burger which consists of ham burger meat mixed  with habanero and instead of bread buns it was crispy tortillas. It was hard for me putting it all together and trying to make it look nice but my mentor showed me that it's better to make it look simple yet add a little twist. I guess in this case less is more. That's all
