A Day In Spain...

As part of my Management/ Food Service Systems rotation of my Dietetic Internship, I had to plan a gourmet day for the staff cafeteria at the LAC+USC hospital. We have a 3 week cycle menu so the doctors get pretty excited about new menu items. I decided to go with a Spanish theme, which both my dad and Jordan were excited about (both served missions in Spain). It was a whole lot more work than I thought it was going to be, and learned how much time really goes into planning a menu for such a large hospital (which I think was the whole point of the project). It was fun planning menu items with the chefs and being creative with flowers and decorations, but I would not do it again :) ... well maybe, if the next time I was getting paid! We made $11,000 in sales, unfortunately I didn't get any chunk of that cash.

These are not great pictures, I took these while I was running around.

Gema, one of my favorite chefs! She is always so bubbly and entertaining to work with. I know you can't tell by this picture, I have no idea why she didn't smile :)

And with the completion of this project marks the half way point of my internship! Yeah! The first half went by speedy, may the last half go by even more.
