Becoming A Pro

On my third day of project I walked into Luna like an actual employee.  After only three days I feel much more knowledgeable and comfortable.  For the first two days I mainly did baking, except for shredding the cheese.  Today was completely different.  I walked in assuming I would be helping with a cookie recipe or frosting cookies; however, I spent the morning with vegetables.  First I cut the core out of tomatoes.  I nearly cut my finger off and was scared the entire time.  Thankfully the employees were very helpful and showed me what I was doing wrong and told me that I would for sure cut off my finger if I kept doing it the way I was.  It took me over an hour to do all the tomatoes, which shocked me.  After I cut out the core and cut them in half I had to gut them.  Meaning I had to take out the seeds and everything in the tomato.  It took me forever.  I was working right next to one of the younger works at Luna and he did his twice as fast as I did.  We joked about it and it made me feel a lot more comfortable.  After the tomatoes I tried to get into baking but I was lured back to the vegetables.  I took the insides out of mushrooms and then I cubed mozzarella cheese.  All of that took me three and a half hours.  By the end of it I was dead tired.  So I took a lunch break which is always fun because I get free lunch! In the afternoon I scaled a recipe and frosted cookies.  The afternoon was pretty basic, but by the end of the day I desperately needed a nap.
