What I've learned on my externship so far

Julienne is done on a mandoline... Diced vegetables are done with a dicing machine... Read labels on everything (semolina in the cornbread doesn't work)... How to pull rotisserie chicken by lantern light in a power outage... How much food is lost after a four day power outage (including the pulled chicken)... What that food smells like going down the garbage disposal... What it feels like to stand on the beach in 100 mph winds... What it's like not to have heat, hot water or light anywhere... What it feels like not to shower for 3 days... What it's like to get aid (food) from the Red Cross...
