The Other Interns

Since Emily is so good about blogging what they are up to, I figured someone needs to represent the other group of interns...and I guess that is me. Anne, Brianna, and I (Janelle) are just finishing up our Pen Court rotation. We had big shoes to fill after Emily, Rebecca, and Annie but I can definitely say that we have enjoyed pen court more than we ever thought. The highlight of course was our theme day: A Day on Broadway. We got our inspiration after we all saw Wicked in Denver and loved it!

Our menu for theme day included: teriyaki glazed salmon with wild rice, NY pizza with a Caesar salad and tuxedo dipped strawberry, white bean chili, cream puffs with a raspberry sauce, German chocolate cookies, and churros y chocolate. We loooooved our food but it was definitely a challenge getting to that point. We made cream puffs 4 times and went through over 100 eggs before we finally somewhat perfected the recipe.

When theme day finally came we were so excited but definitely not prepared for the craziness that was about to occur. People were lined up outside of Pen Court 1 hour before we opened! Once we started serving, girls were just running all over the kitchen to keep up with the crowd. Our "made-to-order" pizza was so much more popular than we thought it would be. We forcasted for 50 and actually sold 82! There is no way we could have ever survived without the other three interns there to help us. But at the end of the day we were so happy with how things turned out and treated ourselves to a soda with Sister Mitchell.

Pen Court is now closed for the semester and the three of us are just working on getting things ready for next semester. We definitely miss seeing the pen court students every day and really miss the lunches.
