We finished up our basics this week. First stop was the pizza station. It was a lot of fun to work in, since they have a dough roller and a fire/stone oven to cook the pizzas. It’s a lot harder to cook the pizzas in this type of oven though. The pizzas have to be rotated every few minutes to get an even cooking. But once one gets a hang of it, it’s not so hard. Amy and I also got to help with breakfast in the morning. Then we tagged along with a student supervisor though the day and watched how they help the cooks with their duties.
But once our basics were behind us, it’s time to introduce one of the projects we will be working on this summer. We are to produce a video on how the dining courts have sustainability. What is that? It’s basic good ol’ reduce, reuse, and recycle, with some modern twists. I’ve already seen what the workers at Ford do for recycling. They have “yak” buckets in which all the uneaten food gets placed. There is the pulper in the dish room that will take care of most food left from the students. And then there is the box compressor that takes care of all the cardboard boxes they use. All of this waste is then taken away and used to create energy. For more info, check out the website they designed to inform people about how the dining courts of Purdue are going green. http://www.housing.purdue.edu/HTML/Dining/Sustainability.htm
