I started the day by making super sized veal schnitzels... bashing out the veal with the steal mallet gave me 2 blisters one on my thumb and one on the base of my index finger, maybe I shouldn't hold the mallet so hard next time :)
After doing that I had to make 50 salads, which meant I had to cut the tomato, cucumber and onion and then cut the lettuce and wash it with the spinach, it was quite fun actually. Then it was off to start the lunch rush, it was really busy over lunch today alot of elderly coming in and a few backpackers, we didn't get everything done until around 3pm instead of finishing it all at 2:30.
During my break I came home to see Craig and that was a pain in itself, traffic at that time of the day and through soooooo many lights it took me a good 30 minutes to get here but it was nice to relax with the aircon on before going back to work.
When I got back to work, I cut up the roast that was cooked this morning, it was massive enough to last me and Craig for at least a month of dinner... when I finished all the meat I started helping out with dinner as it was a little quiet there wasn't much to do, so I learnt a few new tricks of the trade from Adam and got told a bit more about what I will learn at TAFE.
Then it got really really busy and it was all hands on deck, we had a list of meals lined up and they were all things I hadn't been shown how to make so I learnt alot of new dishes but it didn't really help out much cause I had no idea what to do... Adam was very patient with me and even said that he thought this week was going to be a nightmare but i have already shown him I know the basics and a few meals so he was very pleased with me, especially when he can leave me alone to cook and not worry about if i can make it or not.
We didn't finish everything up until just after 9:30 tonight due to late orders but at least the place is spotless and everything is done. I have a day off tomorrow but I will be back on Sunday.
