Reflection # 3


Today I went to internship cite at around 4.p.m. When I got there, there was a lady who worked at the restaurant instead of the owner being there like last time. She is the one who is usually there during the day time doing what I do when I am there. Today I got to make pizzas, salads, fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries, fried calamari, and fried catfish. Even though I cooked the same things a last week, I was still pretty confused. That is why I am very happy that the lady helped me and didn’t let me become overwhelmed with everything. I don’t think that Ash the chef is very fond of me. He seems to get very aggravated with me. Mostly because I don not remember things. I tend to forget very easily so when it comes to making pizzas, salads, or anything else, I forget the order in which to make them. Today I forgot a few things, but having somebody helping me made me feel at least a little better than if I was by myself. If I ever have to do that by myself, I probably will not be able to do it.
The pizzas which I usually make are the Margarita pizzas. First I take the dough which is shaped like a rectangle with curved edges. I spread garlic oil and salt all over the dough and then this powdered like cheese goes on top of that. Then goes a lot of mozzarella cheese, a little basil, tomato slices all around the pizza, and then some fresh mozzarella cheese. After that’s done, I place the pizza into the oven for about 8 minutes. It should be cooked just right once the 8 minutes are up.
It was very busy today so I had to do a lot of things. Though Ash said that if he has time to talk to me, then it isn’t busy but I have to disagree. It is probably because he’s so used to it by now but I just started so I’m not. At around 9, when we are supposed to stop making anymore food, I started to clean up my station. The lady started cleaning the station too. As I put a lid on all of the containers and put them away, the lady cleaned the walls and table. Once I finished with that, I wiped down the top and bottom of the table and then put everything else inside of the walk-in refrigerator. At around 10, my sister called me to tell me she was outside. So I gave Ash my sheet so that he could sign it and headed out the door once he was done. Overall, I still do not love my internship site so hopefully next week will be better. If its still not, I do not know what I am going to do.
