12-16-08 At Home In the Kitchen

Yesterday at the Marriott I was back in the kitchen. When I arrived, Misty was preparing plates of toppings to be wrapped in plastic and placed in the freezer for a dessert being served tomorrow. There were 3 plates of M&Ms, 3 plates of Oreo bits, 5 plates of cherries, 3 plates of strawberries, 3 plates of rainbow sprinkles, and 5 heaping plates of whipped cream. It was difficult to make the whipped cream look presentable because it was still pretty frozen, and wasn't coming out of the bag with ease. After I finished the whipped cream, two of the other girls in my class wrapped them up. While this was going on, Matt was chopping up cantaloupes, pineapples, mangoes, and honeydew melon. We also got to organize cookies and pastries for the concierge department. Moral of the Marriott today: Whipped Cream is best Served at Room Temperature.
