themed meal

One of our main projects as food service interns is to plan a theme day meal. We are responsible for the menu, production, and food prep. There is a taste panel the week before the actual theme day to ensure the recipes we test.

MENU

Mojito Chicken over sticky rice

Roasted cuban vegetables with beans and rice

Cornbread

Low fat pina colada cup

We hosted our actual theme meal yesterday and operations ran smoothly. The "World Cuisine" station in the cafeteria hosted our meal so it could be made to order. People love to watch their food tossed together and served fresh. Overall, the dietetic intern meal was a success! We even sold out of the pina colada cups, beans and rice, and cuban vegetables. Who says eating healthy doesn't taste good?! Customers were raving about the flavors.

Today was our LAST DAY OF FOOD SERVICE! Jo, Dana, Rebekah, and I spent the past week compiling 5 weeks worth of projects into a powerpoint presentation for the management team. After an early morning presentation, we received positive feedback from our "impressed" managers.

j&j - happy its friday. happy our presentations are over. happy for our afternoon naps. and VERY happy for the cookie cake sitting on our counter.
