This Thai Lime Quinoa Salad from @devinalexander book You Can Have It! is bright and fresh, and by adding a block of baked marinated tofu you have a filling Summer meal to take on the go. #yummy #yum #vegetarian #vegetables #vegan #quinoa #cookbook #review #wholegrain #glutenfree #easy #mealprep #peppers #cilantro #carrots #greenonion (at Oshawa, Ontario)

#13 reflection of my internship

It was really bitter sweet ending my internship.. because although the hours were insanely long and the commute was super far 3 hour drive each day... and the days at work sometimes went by so slow... it felt like the summer went by so fast. Making and filming the last few videos was so sad because i had so much fun with the work i did. And i really enjoyed the people i worked with. I left by telling Devin how grateful i was with the internship and how much i enjoyed and grew from it. She thanked me for all my hard work and everything i done and told me if i ever needed a letter of recommendation or for her to make a phone call for me she would be more then happy to do it for me. I never felt so bitter sweet about leaving a job. I wanted to stay longer but at the same time i knew i was done growing there and done all i could and i was ready for something bigger. 

This internship really reminded me about the open office trap. How it challenges the norms of a normal office setting, because my internship is the complete opposite of a normal office setting. The first thing that stood out to me was that my office was the home of my boss. The office is Chef Devin Alexander’s own personal home. At first i was a bit uncomfortable with the idea because it felt like it wasn't a real office and i felt like i was intruding in a way and had to be respectable like in someones home. But then as time went by the office/home setting became really comfortable and everything felt safe and comfortable and everyone felt close to one another. It still some how felt like an office but at the same time it was her home and there were only 2 rooms in the home we weren't allowed in. I remember in the beginning i was confused that the kitchen was the test kitchen and her real kitchen and where we have lunch which is connected right to her living room with a huge couch. I remember how i wasn’t sure if i was allowed to sit and relax on the couch or not too. If it was professional or not. I remember i took a nap on the couch one day thinking it was okay during my lunch break. But then later read a binder that said sleeping on the couch wasn't okay. It is a very confusing dynamic of someones home and an office and what was okay during office hours and break hours. I later just started to eat lunch outside or in my car and took a nap in my car. Although it felt extremely weird at first the home/office setting was actually quite nice and comfortable in the end. It still felt extremely like we were in the office but also it felt like the safety and comfort of a home at times. Although because it was a home setting everything felt way more casual then it would have been in an office.
