Yesterday the 10th of April I started my last work experience at Meals on Wheels I was absolutely terrified because I`ve never cooked for anybody that I didn't know before and was scared I was going to mess everything up.
I got driven to the Leixlip GAA by my mum and was dropped off just inside the the grounds, I found the door that leads to the kitchen eventually after getting lost and walking around aimlessly for a few minuets there I met Bernie and two other ladies who were going to be helping me today.
I was then set to the task of cutting the cauliflower and taking off the bottom of them so that the ladies could boil them for the dinner, this was kinda frightening because I was scared I was going to slice my fingers open and embarrass myself in front of them. I eventually got it done * without slicing my fingers open and was very pleased to see I could do it.
I was then given the task of mashing the potatoes which was grand because I was used to doing it at home, I had to make sure all the lumps were gone and when they were to bring it over to the table and scoop it into the containers. I couldn`t do it, I kept trying to but it didn't work so instead I counted out 29 small containers and lids and 30 big containers and their lids.
After that we had break which was nice because I got to learn a little about my Co Workers over a cup of tea and biscuits. We then started dishing up the food making sure that any special requirements were ordered was done and then everybody else had a bit of meat, potatoes, cauliflower and cabbage, we then covered them gave them to the drivers, cleaned up and went home.
