Royal Rush!!!!

Sooooo yea this past weekend and today were so busy thanks to the Queen and her 60 year celebration for being on the thrown!! Oh yayyyyyy haha super fun! Basically long story short, made some batches of baked goods, and learned new plating for certain starters and desserts. All with rain and cold mixed in!
As for today...I flew the nest I guess you could say. I was in the kitchen with sous chef Jane and executive chef John and had the dessert station. Not that busy on a lunch shift but having it to myself for the first time it felt busy. They both showed me how to plate the desserts and sides I was in charge for and then that was it, they had to get back to their stations because it started getting busy. I basically hit the ground running, Jane started calling out desserts and I responded with "Yes Chef" and started doing my thing. I felt like I handled myself well. I'll admit I did make a few mistakes- sending out jam with a scone instead of butter- stuff like that. But I felt good after the rush and both of them had a quick small talk to see how it was for me. Chef John gave me pointers and examples of how to stay organized during a rush and stuff like that. Seriously a wealth of knowledge. Now just waiting to go back for the dinner service!!
....OH and I had the best pork burger in my life!!!!! =D
Since the streets are filled with all the celebration, the bosses threw a bbq in front of the restaurant and man those burgers were delicious!! =)
