The University of Oklahoma Week 6

The Weekend
On Saturday, we went to breakfast at The Earth Deli & Cafe.  We then went to the National History Museum on campus after taking a walk.  We finished the day with dinner at Benvenuti's before my family left for their drive back to Indiana.  On Sunday, I spent a lot of time cleaning our apartment and doing laundry.  I also went to get a pedicure at a really cute salon in Norman, and I went to the grocery.

Monday
Today we were up in Oklahoma City at Healthy Hearth.  We started out our day by taking up the coffee and water for the patients to each floor and also taking boxed meals up to the chemotherapy patients for their convenience.  We then cut a ton of vegetables to help make the feature of the day, a vegetable lasagna.  We worked the line for the lunch rush, which always makes time fly by and is a lot of fun!  Then I made a big batch of chicken salad for the rest of the week and continued to prep some items that would be used for the week.

Tuesday
We were back up in Oklahoma City at Healthy Hearth again today.  We started our day the same way today, and started to do our morning routine by ourselves, and without any of the other employees.  Today after we did our morning routine, I made a ton of cookie dough! Peanut butter and sugar cookie.  We then worked the line again for lunch.

Wednesday
Today we were up in Oklahoma City at Healthy Hearth again.  We did our morning routine and then helped to prepare for the day with prepping food and cooking foods.  We worked on the line again, and then we worked with the Chef Chris and Lara to determine what we were going to do for our recipe development project for the next day.  We decided on a dish, Fettuccine Florentine, and discussed how we would prepare it for the feature tomorrow.  We picked this dish due to the fact that it was a healthier pasta dish and that it is is also featured in a cookbook sold by the Cancer Center for cancer patients.

Thursday
Today was our last day up in Oklahoma City at Healthy Hearth. We spent the morning working on our feature and getting the recipe just right to be served out to the customers.  Once the lunch rush came, we sold our of our feature within the first hour!  It was awesome, and everyone said that they really enjoyed the Fettuccine Florentine.  After lunch, we worked on helping with a few catering things, a cake decorating class for the patients, and also finalizing our recipe that we used for the day.  It was so sad saying goodbye to everyone at Healthy Hearth.  They were all so inviting and kind and taught us a lot!  We really enjoyed our time with them!  That evening, I got to pick up my boyfriend from the airport to visit for the weekend from Indiana!  We all went to the OKC Minor League Baseball Team game, and then we went to Deep Deuce for Trivia Night.  It was a lot of fun!

Friday
Today Lindsey and I had a meeting with Brandie Wright in the morning.  She works for Payroll and told us a lot about her job.  She works with the monthly and hourly times for the food service employees.  She also works with job postings and release forms.  She takes care of all of the paperwork for new employees, and maintains a lot of databases.  Her job is like an office of records.  Throughout the rest of the day, we worked a lot on our projects and making sure we knew where we were in all of them.  We finished the Recipe Development and are very close to finishing the Business Plan.  In the evening, Kirk and I went to Red Prime Steak House and then up to the Devon Tower for drinks.  It was an absolutely amazing night!
