Hello everybody! I told you I'd be back. Today, I wanted to tell you about my latest Cook Training experience. Last week, my class and I got to go to Banff for a night and shadow the chefs in the main kitchen of the Banff Springs hotel. I jumped at the chance to go. I thought it would be an awesome experience that I just couldn't pass up My Mom accompanied me, and went as my helper. She was excited to go to. Also, a couple of my friends from school, Sierra King and Aaliyah Bone came . It was a great experience that I could share with some friends from school.
Before they went to Banff Springs, my Cook Training class got to go to the SAIT University in Calgary to learn about the Culinary program there. We didn''t go to that part of the trip. My Mom had to drive, and she didn't to go that far in the van, so we just drove straight to Ban ff Springs on Monday morning, which was fine with us. It was a beautiful drive up to the prestige castle in the Rockies.
When we got to Banff Springs Hotel, Aaliyah and her mom were pretty amazed at the place Aaliyah wanted to go exploring right away. We walked around a bit and waited for the rest of our class to get there. When, hey did, we met up with a college at the hotel,Margaret. She showed us around. The Banff Springs Hotel is a very old hotel, built in the late 1800's As we walked around, we got told some haunted stories. Some of them were pretty creepy, like stories of husbands pushing brides out windows and stuff like that. ugh! Aaliyah kept wanting to find the evidence.
Anyway, on another note, we finished our tour, and the rest of that night, we had off. We went out for dinner at earls and shopped around a bit. We finished the night off in the pool, and then, after a busy day, we went to sleep in big, comfy beds, and slept like princesses.
The next day we got to work. We put on our Chef jackets from school, and went into this beautiful, massive kitchen. It's was goergous in there. The equipment is twice the size of what we have in our kitchen. at school. I brought my walker to help me walk in the kitchen, because it would have been to craped with my wheelchair. It was a cool experience to see what it would be like to work there if you had a diverseabiluty. Aaliyah and I stayed and worked in thebakary departent for a while, pitting cookies on trays. We even got to try a pastry. After a while, Margaret met up with us again and showed us around some more. We got a secret tour. Margaret even found special name tags and gave them to us. We got to see the cafeteria where all the staff get there lunch. After our second little tour, we took a picture of all of us in our uniforms, said goodbye to the Bannff Springs, and drove back through through the Rockies. It was a short trip, but a great trip. I couldn't believe we got to do that with school. I felt so lucky. Anothe aazing adventure copleted I wonder what then next one will be?....
