Food + Service = Food service

Currently in the food service classes that prep me for my food service rotations which begin next week! We had classes that covered NSF, remodeling of food service areas, HACCP review, recipe conversion, etc. It was definitely a good refresher course and I'm feeling more confident than ever to begin this rotation. Our preceptor went over some of the projects we will be doing in this rotation and it's making me very excited!

The project that was introduced today was that we get to create a recipe that will be on the new University Hospital Room Service menu! We will be paired up and our mission is to compete against each other to create the best entree salad recipe. The trick is, the recipe has to expand well to 400+ servings, pass a taste test, and a survey. So, not as easy as it sounds. But, it will be exciting nonetheless. 

Other than that, today was nothing to complain about. It's tough getting back to getting up at 5am when you get to sleep in on the weekend. This Friday we are going to the Michigan Dietetic Association fall conference. Guess where it is...Mount Pleasant! Just when I thought I couldn't go back soon...

Not only to make the day better, all of us interns are going to stop at the cider mill on our way back! Today we were talking about it and some of them have never heard of a cider mill, so I'm really excited for them to see how fun it is. Cider donuts, homemade cider, corn mazes, wine tastings, and tractor rides...HERE WE COME!
