Week 3 at KU

This week can be summed up in 4 words: sandwiches, coffee and amazing sights. It was truly a great week. Anna and I started the week out in residential dining at the Market in the Union making sandwiches.

We learned how to make KU’s famous “Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap” and a bunch of other sandwiches at their self branded operation Brellas. This was a lot of fun and it was great getting a different aspect of serving people with making sandwiches to order. Hopefully everyone liked the ones that we made because we were thrown into the process fast and it was a lot of fun being on the production line. Next after the market we woke up bright and early and got to go on an Amish farm tour with Sysco. It was really great experience, Anna and I both got to drive the horse drawn wagon, we got to see how they lived life without all the electrical and gas operated advancements we are so lucky to have today. It was humbling just to see how content they were and how much we just take for granted. They truly could serve up some great food. There is a lot to say about fresh produce.

I had the best lunch I had in a long time. It was all made with all fresh produce from that area and for dessert we had my favorite, blackberry pie and homemade ice cream! It was so delicious! The entire country side was beautiful and there were some truly amazing sights between the landscape and the uses of horses. When we were headed back to Lawrence we saw the Oscar Meyer Winner Mobile.

It was really awesome. So once we got back to the dorm we made sure that we went back to take pictures by it. We were so excited that we got to see it! Not many times in your live do you get to see such a famous vehicle :). We finished our week of with coffee. Today we were trained as barista in KU’s pulse coffee shop. We both learned the art of steaming milk and how to make their amazing smoothes. It was intense and we have the certification test tomorrow. Hopefully we will pass! This week every day has had its own adventure and it has been great to meet new people and to see new ways of life. It has been a great week.
