Sixth Week Spring Pathways

February 28th, 2014 -
At my internship I have learned more about the sauces, for example cream sauces, mole and other sauces. I have been re-reading the recipes and I'm starting to get familiar with the recipes and ingredients. I feel as if I will master everything within six months. I'm pretty good about remembering everything if it's repetitive. The best way for me to learn something fast is by someone telling and showing me how to do it. I really like being at Copita because I am learning more about my cultural food (Mexican.) Copita's food comes from the style of Mexico City.

I got back my test results and I passed with a B-. I could have done better, but what my problem was is that I needed to add the accents onto the words that needed them. Besides that, I'm learning how to use ser with estar. I created a chart to help me with remembering what word is used with what. I feel as if I need to study more because there will be another test in a few weeks from now.

I haven't been going to Copita lately because it was either a slow day and also because I was sick. At the moment, I'm trying to study the recipes for the sauces they use for all of the entrees. One day I will master them and will be able to know more than I know now.

In Spanish 101, I learned about using ser while talking in Spanish. I sometimes feel as if everyone learns faster than I do and it could be embarrassing at times. The most embarrassing time is when I get called on and I don't even have the answer right away. I'm trying to learn the best I can, but I know it's going to take awhile. Also, I have a test that I took; I'm just waiting for my results.

At Copita, I am learning a little at a time so right now the only items I cook are the churros, quesadillas, buñelos, oyster tacos, pork belly tacos and papas bravas. All of those items require using the cooking method; deep-fry. So when I read the tickets as they come in, I yell out what's on the ticket and I do my job by preparing side items depending on what's on the ticket.
