Knife SKILLS!

I asked my Chef instructor if he would grade my sheet of veggies and fruit after our test run on our Knife skills practical today. He gave me a 'high B.' Knowing I could do better than that, I went to the nearest Cub Foods and got some grapefuit, carrots and tomatoes to practice at home. I am trying to perfect my potato cuts, when I should be more worried about how small I can mince a clove of garlic or chiffonade a couple leaves of spinach. I hope I do good tomorrow. We get an hour and fifteen minutes for this test. I'll make sure I take extra time to arrange it better than this.

In english today, I had to present my entertainment essay. I'm glad it went better than my essay for my culinary class about the Bay Leaf when my face turned 4 shades brighter of red. My choice of entertainment was more of a captivating entertainment; it was about a Hospice case I did for my interpreting agency this past weekend. I felt better to get it all out on paper, and due to the comments afterwards, everyone was glad to hear it.

One of my classmates stopped me after class to tell me that it was the best essay he had heard in the class so far, and said he almost started crying during the time I was presenting it. That was good to hear, it was exactly what I wanted to happen. I might include it in an upcoming post, when I get it back with a grade on it. Preferably, an A.
