So today was the beginning of the next round of culinary math workshops. The one I was able to sit in on went well. They're supposed to be learning about Conversion Rate Factors, which is basically learning how to convert recipes to larger or smaller portions. They seemed to understand it fairly well, though I'm taking my typical, cynical outlook on the whole thing and assuming that at least a few of them were only acting like they understood the information.
Today is also one of the three days I'm going to be using to visit the Nutrition classes to let the students know that I'm a Nutrition tutor... It's been... what? Five, six weeks since the term started, and we haven't even had one person come in for Nutrition tutoring.... Now that midterms are over and the students can see that they aren't as smart as they thought, I'm sure they're going to be worried about passing, which is why I'm going to visit the classes. If I strike while the iron is hot, so to speak, they'll realize that I'm here to help... And that means I'll get more tutoring hours.
On a non-school related note, I actually started getting back into writing and got past the block that I was having with one of my novels... It's completely unrelated to food stuff, so I don't recommend it to those of you that follow this blog simply for a chance to get recipes or humorous anecdotes about working in a kitchen.... That book will probably be started once I spend more than 3 months in one kitchen.
Here's the link to anybody interested in a romantic horror story: http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2880893/1/Eternal-Darkness (NOTE: There are scenes of a sexual nature, so if you don't care for that kind of thing, then avoid the end of chapter 3 and the beginning of chapter 4)

It's no fun to be nice!
I'll make you a deal, I'll be nice to the people that come for Nutrition, but I'll be myself for the math workshops :p
