Field Trip #5


Yesterday was my first day cooking. I stood by Darren's side and mimicked everything he did in my saute pan. I made shrimp linguine (minus the shrimp) and a side dish of spinach topped with blue cheese. We started out with garlic every time and every dish was seasoned with salt and pepper. A chef must be able to use their wrists well to mix the contents of the pan. I also learned how to properly use a knife. There is a special way to hold the knife and the food you are cutting so you have more control of it and there is less of a chance of cutting yourself. I had fun cooking and the finished product payed off. I can't wait for next week!

Bravo!! Now you're getting your hands dirty, or oniony. Darren sounds like he is a fantastic teacher. You see, we teachers are not just in the classroom where our lives are regulated by incessant bells. We're also in restaurants. Perhaps one day you'll be a "teacher" like Darren.
