Well today we had our first apprentice meeting. We were given the in's and out's of the program and told "what the senior apprentices' wish they had been told going in". The key thing stressed was that the one and only answer for our next three years will be "Yes Chef!"
After that I went and helped out another Chef in her kitchen for a few hours and had a great time with her enthusiastic staff.
Sadly, I am currently working on my first essay for getting an apprenticeship question wrong. Sarah and I made it through, "What kind of fish is a flounder?", "What kind of fish is a Salmon?", and "What is a squid?". But we failed on "What is the difference between brine and marinade?" So we are both writing about the difference now...(or blogging...)
Tomorrow is my first day! I will be working at the Williamsburg Lodge in the large production kitchen. I'm a mix of excited and nervous!
I am currently working on my eight recipes to submit for an "Apprentice Cookbook". I'll let you all know when it's time to buy.
(Oh and the apron is from a thrift shop. It came inside a pan I got for $2.00. Sadly, I've already relocated it to the trash...)
