DanielK Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Is Monday a really bad day for everyone? Thursdays are impossible for me, so I hope Daniel doesn't stop alternating Mondays w Thursdays... I looked back over the past year, and it doesn't seem to be a pattern of Monday vs. Thursday as far as the bigger crowds. So I'll continue to alternate to reach all audiences.

Anna Blume Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 So, as a seasoned volunteer at DCCK, I hurried to the sink to wash hands up to the elbows in hot water and soap. Donned plastic gloves, size S. Put on hairnet since, running late, I forgot a hat. Rushed to station to find familiar faces and help finishing up the task at hand: filling aluminum pans w 50 spare ribs and a little water, covering them w plastic wrap, then labeling the foil cover, sealing and storing the pans in the refrigerated unit nearby. Next? I was told we should repeat process, but this time w summer squash that was wheeled out on a tall (for me) cart loaded w about twenty trays worth. So, I reach not directly in front of me, but high above my head and grab both sides of the pan filled to the brim with rounds of cooked squash. See where I am going yet? If not, you have no more business working in a professional kitchen than I do. I should have reached for the ends of the sturdy metal trays instead of the flimsy, throw-away foil pan. I also should have tied on a plastic apron after tucking in the ponytail. The pan folded. Green and yellow mush city. DCCK, thanks for the loan of tee shirt and khakis which I promise to return on Sunday. ***************** I'll let Daniel fill you in on the really great conclusion to the evening which I am sorry Jackie could not make.

The rules and logistics are somewhere upthread (and on the website), but the basics: Arrive on time Wear a hat/ballcap, or you will have to wear a duncecap hairnet No cutoffs, tanks, shorts, or open-toed shoes Toki or Taylor Gourmet are good choices for me because I'm usually bringing my 14-year-old son, and while he'll happily chow down at the bar at Corduroy, Granville Moore's, etc., my budget suggests that Toki and Taylor are better choices.
