Week 2 is done tomorrow and I was trying to come up with a theme for the week. I'm attaching a painting by Ruth Palmer called Step Lively. It sums it up.I'm vastly more comfortable than the first week but I still feel like a klutz. The good news is that time flies. It's 8 hours of action with very little downtime. The majority of my time is still being spent with breads, danishes, croissants, etc. My exposure to the pastry side of the business is helping out with banquet prep, petit fours and basic desserts. The overnight baker (bread) is pretty amazing in terms of multi tasking and keeping his cool. He's a one man show and there are multiple mixers, ovens, sheeters and problems to deal with. I realize it's not rocket science but I'm still impressed that everything gets done on time.
Note: It's been 2 weeks and I haven't been to single meeting. Giggle
