AmandaKay- Culinary Tour Summary

*AmandaKay, adventurist/journalist on the go: So Kaitlyn, how do you like culinary?
*Kaitlyn: I love it. Were making cookies
*AmandaKay: Are you learning anything new?
*Kaitlyn: Yeah, i learned how to flip an egg in a pan
as we received our tour from Cole, we saw how big a kitchen is here at the Tec center. magic dishwashers that literally will do all of your dirties in less the 3 minutes total. i honestly didn't know you could do that. a walk in fridge. walk in freezer. massive stoves. complete different areas for making hot stuff and not so hot stuff. they have to chef/bosses running around and giving orders. it's kinda a hectic place to work in and i could see how they could sweat themselves to death.
the consensus with the staff is that they like working there though. even in the hot demanding environment. I'll get to see in about a week myself and then you'll be interviewing ME on my opinion of working there. I'll probably like it to. whats so bad about food, ya know?

with a rumbling tummy,
AmandaKay

Cluttered Grandeur - Felicia's Post on the Culinary Tour

Amanda Rose and I (Felicia Poirier) took a tour of the Kitchen today, led by one of the Stationary culinary students whose name is Cole. We looked in all the nooks and crannies of the kitchen, from the dishwasher to the freezer to the snack bar. I was substantially surprised as to how hectic it was in there.

Cole was real cordial about the tour; he pointed out all the main parts and explained to us what some of the machinery was. Yes, I said machinery. Some of the equipment is so large it reminded me of more something from an auto shop than a kitchen. I mean, a three foot tall mixer!

We also talked with Rachael and Kristen, two more of the Stationary students. We were told of how its stressful sometimes, but also extremely enjoyable.

After that we looked around a bit, poked our heads about a bit...

My favourite part had to be the dishwasher. Able to do a whole load of dishes in LESS than a minute! It was insanely cool. I want one for MY house!

The World Of Stationary Culinary

Dishes, utensils, stoves.

This is what surrounds the students that are working in the Stationary Culinary division of the WIA program. There are five of them that got the spots back there in the kitchen (two of which live in Capac, the city I myself live in).

Personally, I like to cook and all but I don't think that I could stand to be in the heat for that long, or work that hard. The students who are in the Stationary Culinary work really hard at what they do- be it baking, or cooking something, or only washing dishes.

My hat goes off to them- or, a Chef's hat in any case.

Fun Fact- A Chef's hat has 100 pleats- supposedly the same amount of ways someone can cook an egg.
