Yesterday was my (Carla's) third time volunteering at the Red Cross's cafe kitchen. Tuesdays are generally quiet days at the cafe. During my first Tuesday volunteering, I only got 4 or 5 orders during my 5 1/2 hour shift. Last week was the same. Yesterday, however, was super busy! The chef left around 5:30, leaving me alone in the kitchen. The moment he stepped out the door, order after order came in. I prepared at least 10 cheese burgers (with fries), 10 orders of Thai chicken curry (with a salad), 10 orders of vegetarian chili, 5 orders of chocolate cake, and a goat cheese salad. All this by myself. It was quite an experience... I felt like I was on a reality TV show like Hell's Kitchen! I even dreamed that I was back in the kitchen last night. Hopefully there will be a second volunteer next time to help with the work load.
