Final Blog!

This class was one of those classes that I gained a lot from personally. It wasn't so much studying material and being expected to know formulas or dates, it was directly about our industry and all the current issues arising. I liked the idea of coming to class everyday and knowing that I would leave having learned something new. It made me want to be knowledgeable about current issues, trends, fads, technology, nutrition, health, etc.

I think I'm going to miss blogging after this is over. I had fun with finding articles and researching on topics that I wasn't aware of before. It opened my eyes to matters that were ongoing and matters that were abrupt.

I will definitely be following NRN for a while. I like the website and how it is easy access to everything that is happening in the food service industry.

One website that I've been reading up on and following is Chocolate & Zucchini. It offers everything from recipes, to books people suggest to use, to forums, to an online "store". I really like reading the forum section and learning about what people have made or used in recipes and others suggestions about it. It seems like a very informal blog that anyone is open to write in. I've joined Chocolate & Zucchini as a member and plan on following it for a while.

I enjoyed this class and I enjoyed blogging. I liked getting feedback on articles I choose from my classmates. I think it really makes a difference in the learning process for students at any age!
