No Shitake

We went back to Sanitation today and got our quizzes back:













What did I tell you? Nailed it. And with the smiley face!!

Today wasn't toooo exciting, and I'm guessing that most of the rest of Sanitation won't be too exciting either. Today was "Safe Food Handling". That is to say, wash your hands, clip your nails, put a lid on your cup in the kitchen, etc. Pretty standard stuff. We did however get to hear a lovely story about Miss Jane setting up "Chef Pedro" for a very amusing prank. Long story short:

Chef Pedro always threw off his hairnet when going from the kitchen to the floor to schmooze the guests. Miss Jane kept telling him it would end up in someone's food one of these days, if he wasn't careful. Chef Pedro constantly shrugged off this warning. So, Miss Jane slid a hairnet into a plate of eggs and had a friend (a very large officer of the law) call Chef Pedro over to complain. Chef Pedro turned white as a ghost and apologized profusely. He locked himself in the office. He called his wife apologizing because he was about to be fired. He cried. It was awesome. Four hours later, he emerged - eyes red from sobbing. He dropped to his knees, "Meeess Jaaaane! I aing soooo soooorrryy! It weel nebber happen agaaaaiin!!!" As much as she wanted to let him agonize, she had to let him know the truth. Needless to say, Chef Pedro neatly placed his hairnet in the trash when moving from the kitchen to the floor.

So much for long story short I guess. Well, I better hit the books. I have ANOTHER QUIZ tomorrow. I know right? They're really piling it on. I also have to get started planning a research project for Basic Cookery. On the bright side, I believe we'll actually start talking about food later this week. Stay tuned!
