Johnna, Richard was told that his ship had to sail early due to the tsunamis and earthquakes. He finishes A school next Friday. Once he gets to San Diego, he says he will have shore duty for a year before his ship returns. What do they do on shore duty? That just seems so long.

Thanks Johanna. he hates to clean, so that might be his insentive.
BTW, where is Zac. Is he in the Pacific?
Has anyone been following the earthquake in Chile? I pray for all our sailors in the sea and in Hawaii.

Friday's breakfast was eggs and lunch was steak. (I forgot all the sides.)
I asked more detailed questions last night.
The Jr. class prepares the main dish and the sides while the sr. class bakes the desserts. Monday he will be a waiter and also one day he will be on clean up duty. He hates that, but I told him, he has to learn ALL aspects of what goes on in the kitchen. He sounds more excited every day. He even likes to tell me all thethings I do wrong at home. I can't wait till he comes home to show off his skills and prepare some gourmet dinners.

He said it was good, but he had some comments on his tarter sauce. He said it was good and he got compliments, but it had a yellow tint, and should have been white.

Ok, I was only able to talk to Richard briefly last night. He said that they ate the food. He made the fruit salad and tarter sauce. For breakfast they had steak and eggs and for lunch, catfish.
I'll get an update tonight. Some people messed up on the "ship", so they are all on phase I liberty, so no trip to Chicago this weekend! lol

I like that one. It sounds better. If you eat it and it's bad, you can figure it out and if it's good, you can be proud that you did a job well done!
I'll ask tonight when I talk to him.

well, he passed test 4, so it is on to the galley! I asked who gets to eat all the food they cook. He wasn't sure. Does anyone know?
For the next two weeks, I feel sorry for who ever it is that he is feeding! lol Richard has not spent a lot of time in front of a stove.

I talked to Richard this weekend. He said that after test 4 he gets his new uniform, I have already told him, I want a picture of him in it.
Do they get a class picture? If so, do they get to wear their chef uniform?
