Sierra November India Papa Echo Romeo

Ok, how long was it since i had a post? No matter, I haven't had the time lately, plus, i was always too tired and bummed to write one when i had the time. But now, i'm sitting at the table, with my laptop hooked to the net, and i have a cup of tea right next to me, so i'm good to go. So, you must be thinking "no time? pffft! lame excuse! tired? LAMER!!" well, the following events would explain it.

On August 30th, that's almost a week ago, we had the food fest. I was psyched to enter a new post into my blog, but as it would normally be, i was dead tired. Came home, played some games, went out to dinner, and got a bit pissed off. no matter, it was a holiday the next day and i could sleep in.

Anyways, back to the food fest. We did Mis En Place on Wednesday, that would be the 29th. We went in at 12.30 and we were the first, so we layed claims to our utensiles, equipment, and work space. I booked a pretty big place, about 1/6 of the whole kitchen. Our supervising lecturer was Mr. Gerhard, a German chef lecturer. He has a unique humor, we found it amusing, a bit eccentric, but ammusing.

He had us prepare our things, cut this, gut that, skin that, fetch that, peel this, dice that, mince these, chop this, store this, squeeze this, go fry yourself...etc... So, we pretty much had our stuff ready, they just needed some packing and cooking. One by one, my team left, nothing to do right? We were told to help the other things, and so the remainding members helped out, and when we were done, well...we left...big snafu... We also found out that the spelling on the flyer for the shepherds pie was all wrong (we spelt shephard)...fubar!

Next day we came to the kitchen, first thing he does is grill me for letting my guys leave early. Well, i apologised, he was right anyway. So we started packing and cooking. Well, actually, Mr Gerhard did most of the work, we were too clueless to leave alone *sheepish grins*. We were making 100 pax of shepherds pie (this would sound familar to all interacters working during IU day in KK) and 250 pax of hot dogs with two settings. once the first batch of food was ready, they were brought down. The shepherds pie sold like hot ...pie...? The hot dogs? not so hot...

I was kinda chuffed about the pie. Every batch that went down, didn't last more than a few seconds. Ivo said that they never made it to our counter (we had to walk trough the crowd of customers). At the end of the day, we had to make an extra 70 pies which we sold at 4 a piece (that would make 170 X 4 = 680) and we sold about an estimate of 150 hotdogs at 3, 70 at 2.5 and another 30 at 1 (this would make 450 + 175 +30) the cost production was about 0.945 cents a piece for the hotdogs, so no matter what, we still profitted. *big smiles*

So, at the end of the day, after we finished cleaning up, after we tabulated everything, after buying food that was so cheap (due to the fact that they still had food to sell and sales time was over) i went home. Okay, i know there should be some pictures, but they're with Ali and this post was long due. I'll post them pictures on next time ok? i'm just gonna watch another movie now...bonjournee!
