I arrived at the niblick today and went to the kitchen to work with John and Tambi, Joanne and Terri were working the bar and Joanne told me that im going to be doing some bussing work this following thursday and friday.
When i walked in the kitchen i started to slice some cheese and the put it on the line.
I had some lunch and then helped Jim rearranging the kegs in the fridge.
After doing some work on the line i went with Blackie to throw the oil in the back and he left at 3
I stayed on for one more hour doing prep cutting vegetables and working the line until 4 and then went home

Today i worked with Fernando, Tambi, and John.
By the time i got there a lot of the prep was already done but i jumped on the line and did orders for a while.
After a while i went to get tortillas, chicken, a little bit of the haide and salsa sauces and cheese and got started doing the flutes.
When i was done that i did the chicken wings and had some Sri Lankan soup that Tambi had made
After Tambi left i went to work on the line with John and after i did some dishes.
I finished the day by dong the nachos

Today i arrived at coop at 12:30 and started working with mike boscar and fernando in the line.
I worked the line for about an hour and 45 minutes and after that i started doing some of the prep work that was still left to do.
The first thing i did was start slicing the chicken breast
After that i peeled all the white onions to leave them ready for future use.
The last thing i did before i went home was the chilli. Now i can do these types of prep from scratch without help, by now i memorized the recipes already

Today i got to my co-op at 12:15
Its only me, Fernando and Agota today.
The first thing i did was to help Fernando with the orders that were coming in like crazy, in between that i had to also slice and saute onions.
After another hour of doing orders i began the prep work wit the nachos and then as orders began to come in again i switched back and forth between doing prep work and working the line until i went home at 4pm.

Today i arrived at coop at 12:00 and i saw fernando there who is back from his vacation. Boscar and Agota were working too
The first thing i did was change into my work clothes and began doing the orders of the line with boscar because fernando was busy doing all the inventory
After about an hour of that i began the prep work for the con queso sauce
The next thing i did was portion the roast beef and after doing that i ate lunch
I finished the day off by slicing the chicken for the line and chopping some for the flutes and quesadillas.

Fridays are very busy so today i went early to the niblick and started doing the prep.
The first thing i wanted to get rid of before the lunch rush was the chicken wings
After that i sliced the chicken and portioned some roast beef
The last prep i did before we started getting orders was the nachos after that i just had to go straight into the line.
After about an hour and a half rush the orders came in steady still so i remained on the line for about another half an hour.
After that i did one more prep and went home.

When i got to the niblick today it was pretty busy so i went right to the line and helping Tambi with the orders, niblick burgers, cajun chicken, quesadillas. That lasted for a while.
After that i started slicing some beef to later portion
When i finished that i had to get some tortillas, special sauce, tomatoes, chesse, and chicken to do the prep work for the flutes. You roll all the ingredients in a tortilla wrap it tight and store for later use when they are deep fried
I finished the day by doing the chicken wings and the flutes
