Little Tuna 3/10

With an over filled plate, its been hard to take the first bite. Even though i found myself extremely tired, I managed to find the enthusiasm to keep going and have fun. Yesterday Fidel, Darrien's Sous chef, fell ill once again, and Enrique had to come to the rescue! Even though it was too busy, we still our fair share of cooking. We didn't really go into anything new, we just revisited and put into use what already has been thought. A lesson that I learned today was, always communicate. With an order that was not in the menu, Darrien decided to accommodate the custumer and make her, a shrimp wrap. In the menu any wrap includes a side of fries. As I put the fries in the deep frier, Darrien put the shrimp on the skillet, and I was put in charge of watching over them, pretty easy task. When the shrimp is almost done, we put it in the oven to finish it off. Darrien was cooking something else, and he went to put what he was cooking in the oven, and I guess he didn't notice me going for the oven with the tongs, and he open the 500 degree oven door and from reflex I put my hands on the door! Ouch! Even though it hurt I had to finish off the wrap. After we the dishes at hand we just practice on some other dishes, such as summer salads and how to use past experiences to help you prepare unexpected dishes!
