Week 2

Hi, week 2 was a busy week! During this week, I worked on putting information together for the Health Fair of 2017 OU Staff Week, which includes making nutrition information displays, information pamphlets, and identify a recipe that will go along with the information. I also assisted the Green Week event at South Oval on Thursday and tested my recipe on Friday.  

The Green Week Event was a success, and I enjoyed this experience very much. We had much positive feedback on the food, and the quantity of the food was almost perfect. We run out the Feijoada in the middle of the event, but we made it just to service other dishes to the rest of the students. From this event, I learned that it is important to adapt yourself to different situations and make quick decisions during an event, as well as always keep good communication with your team members.  On Friday, I had a chance to test my original recipe, Moroccan Salad, for the Health Fair. A big thank to Chef Gary, he helped me getting all of my ingredients and cookware, and gave me a quick tour of the kitchen at the beginning. I’m also grateful for everyone there on Friday, I got very constructive feedback for my recipe and I was able to make some adjustments on it. I’m excited that I will test it again in this week.
