So Tuesday night was my first shift, and as Ashley has already mentioned, our first Tunes on Tuesday. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out, and Brian really put on a great performance! Then Thursday was my first opening shift, which was a little scary because I didn't know what I would find from the previous evening. Fortunately, everything was pretty much in order, and I started going down the checklist. I was surprised by Neela when I finished filling the sink, but other than that, things were going fairly smooth, if not a little behind schedule. Then Ferg asked me what the health inspector looked like, and gave me a brief description. It basically sounded like John, Piscataway's Registered Environmental Health Specialist (aka health inspector) had come in to inspect us. I had met John during my internship over the summer, and he is a pretty cool dude, but it was still a little nerve-racking being on the other side of the inspection.
John asked us about our menu, and how we prepared our foods. Other important things to look for were test strips for the concentration of our sanitizing solution and dishwasher heat, whether or not we provided gloves to minimize bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat foods, and if our handwash sink was set up properly with soap, paper towels, and the hand-wash sign. Fortunately, we passed inspection!! After John left, my shift pretty much flew by. I learned how to make some new shakes, including the Fluffernutter, and some sundaes. The Cookie Jar looks particularly delicious. Ferg also experimented with a raspberry sorbet/mango smoothie, which was also delicious. We have some pretty scrumptrulescent items on our menu, which you should definitely check out soon.
Also- if anyone is interested in performing at Tunes on Tuesday, please email rutgerszone@gmail.com asap!!
Thanks!
