One of my favorite things about my past few weeks is my chance at being a 'head chef' of the Morningside Bakery. Here's just a few of the things I've made on bakery day, which is Thursday by the way:
Monkey Bread
Strawberry and Cherry Delight
Sausage Balls
Fried Apple and Peach Pies
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Then, on Fridays, I've been making the donut replacement for coffee and donuts for the past three weeks. Here's what I've made:
Crescent Cream Cheese Casserole
French Toast Casserole
And for tomorrow I'm making---Buttermilk-Blueberry Breakfast Cake
Getting to bake quite a bit has been really exciting for me because although I really enjoy baking it's not practical for my health or my budget to bake at the house very often to get in good practice. Thus, this has been a wonderful opportunity for me to work on my baking skills. Just tonight, I learned about lemon zest and had to cream it with butter with only a fork. Blueberries and lemons go so well together!!
We'll see how it the residents like it tomorrow...
I said some of my first goodbyes today. One of my coworkers and a resident that are going to be out of town tomorrow gave me hugs and best wishes today. Like I told them, "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I would stay if only Spain weren't calling my name." It truly has been a wonderful experience that I hope to have again in the future someday.
