Caffeinate Meeee . . .

Pleeeaaassee! It's day one of Professional Cooking and I've been awake since 5am. \\blech\\ I don't do mornings but today I woke up because I was cold and couldn't get back to sleep. Poor me, I'm so used to sleeping in that getting up to leave at 7am just about killed me.

Luckily nothing to strenuous happened today. We had an intro to the course and watched a video on the care and feeding of knives (there were a few chefs from the CIA talking about the importance of knives and how to best "bond with your knives"). Then the last thing we did was start to clean the kitchen. After 2 months sitting unused and construction in the building it is very dusty.

Tomorrow we clean some more and learn how to prep a salmon. Oh yeah - next week we start 30 min earlier. Ack!
