Day twelve

Is it cool to have practical for food safety?

Day of classes. In the morning math, then product knowledge, then food and safety and the first year experience is the last one.

Math was quite easy, at this level. We started conversions between volume and weight. Sometimes I think that when Babylon happened and people started to speak different languages, the same happened with measurements. Pounds, ounces (there are two of them - fluid and weight, actually more since for precision stones and metalls used third one - Troy ounce) and so on... We are happy that
length is not actual for us, otherwise I don't dare to imagine conversion between miles and ounces...

Product knowledge was interesting - today was lettuce and all variations. I saw a couple varieties for the first time. Learn a trick - if you want your lettuce to be crisp - put it in ice water  for 30 minutes. This won't work if it's already two weeks old and wilted... Also interesting enough some terminology we are using. Quality of produce related to the pre-harvest (when for example lettuce is in the field), when we see lettuce on the supermarket shelf it's not quality, but condition.

With food safety I think I have theory with practical today. I ate something wrong and my stomach was not friendly at all since yesterday. Hope will be better tomorrow.

Again a pile of home works, for tomorrow math is about 7 pages of different conversions...

Good thing is tomorrow Friday!
