Our Main Kitchen II interns are hard at work in their rotation! Darcy, Dori, and Becca are busy checking trays for accuracy before they leave the kitchen, while Becca is also prepping pulled pork! Lastly, the interns did get some Thanksgiving time off as Becca drops Dori off at the airport for a quick trip home!

Intern class day! Thank you, Liz Wannamaker, for coming to talk to us about diabetes! Interns experience what it is like to live with and manage diabetes by learning to check blood sugars with a glucometer, calculate insulin doses, give themselves injections (we practiced with saline), and wear a continuous glucose monitor for a couple of weeks. To be continued...diabetes part 2 next week.
