Seventh Week At Pathways

October 2, 2013 -
There were many tips and tricks that I have learned over the week. For instance, I learned that Valencia Oranges are used mainly for juicing and Navel Oranges are used mainly for eating. There was a test today based on sanitation, temperatures, fruits, vegetables, etc. I scored 78%. There were 121 questions and I got 96 correct. Along with the written test, there was another kind of test and that was to perform a bias cut for 4 cups of carrots within 5 minutes and also a small diced cut for 2 cups of carrots in 5 minutes. Before taking these tests, we did prepare and practice how to cut certain styles. On Monday, I learned three different cutting techniques; julienne, small dice and bias. There were only two cuts used in the test and I performed very well. I had some trouble with the small dice, but I'm getting better at it each time I try.
