Yesterday night's Employers' Function was a blast. The Employers' Function was basically a dinner for placement tutors, students and employers who were involved in last years' placement. Fot the students, it was a time to get together and celebrate a graduation for their placement, something like that. About 13 of us first year students volunteered to prepare and do waitressing for the function, so got a chance to "do Lakeside" with people who don't work on Tuesday like Michelle, Ella etc etc. I like it when it is not as formal and then we all go crazy and do stupid things and put on stupid songs. I was in the kitchen and had to cut about 50 tomatoes...., thank goodness they don't make you tear or anything like that. Also got to talk to some of the students and found out how they felt about their placement, got some advice from them too... everyone thought the service was great!!! =) There was potato salad, raw green salad, coleslaw, baked salmon brushed with white wine, Chicken with a mushroom and panacetta sauce, Asparagus and tomato quiche, Truffle Torte and strawberries and cream. I think the food is really really good, since we got to try the leftovers. Good food, that's all part of hospitality too, ian't it??
