May 23rd


Today I helped out for the big BBQ held at Segundo. It was cool because they set it up just like a carnival, with big circus tents and games underneath like throwing ping pong balls into glass bowls or ring toss.


Once the dinner started I helped out mostly with desserts and it was absolute madness. At first no one was coming because they were eating their dinner but then everyone came at once. We were trying to cut watermelon and assemble strawberry shortcake all in the same place and we couldn't keep up with everyone. I was the runner going back and forth between the dessert table and the prep area and it was exhausting. I also spilled a ton of strawberry shortcake mixture all down the front of me. About a half an hour before we finished we ran out of dessert and had a lot of disappointed people. Lesson I learned from this event...it is always better to have too much than too little and to have a simple dessert when you have high demand.
