For the past three days I have been working at Tercero, the second largest dining hall on campus. One of the days I worked on the taste changer which on this day was bread and cheese. Basically a taste changer is a way to mix up the daily routine of the meals and add something different. They do it every once in a while in the DCs and include things like fruit extravaganza, churro night, etc.

So for the bread and cheese I cut all of the bread and cheese into cubes. This sounds simple but I am pretty sure I developed bruises on my hands because cold cheese is not an easy thing to cut. Anyway I had to then make it look nice on a display for everyone and this is where I learned that I am not the best at making things look aesthetically pleasing all the time but I am slowly learning how to drape linens and add flowers to make something simple look a lot better. Kim has showed me her masterful ways in the art.

The other thing that I did at Tercero is work in the Pizza station with a guy named Danny who is the bomb and quite possibly the most interesting person I have met in California so far. Two people have never made a better team than us and we put out those pizzas like there was no tomorrow. It was great.
