so this past weekend was a complete adventure
starting on saturday afternoon
it all began when our power went off for a split second
and when it came back on all our smoke alarms were going off
we tried turning them off and going for a walk to see if they stopped
sadly it didn't work and nothing was quiet!
kels, her friend andrew and i decided to go out for dinner
we hit up swiss chalet and enjoyed every bit of it
especially the pumpkin pie!
when coming back to the school it looked abnormally dark
turned out all the power was out and would be for another 4ish hours
this 4 hours turned into over 12!
we had a very quiet and uneventful night on saturday
this was because all the RA's asked us to stay inside
sunday around noon the townhouses finally got power
but the school was still black which meant no internet
sadly all the power was back later on that night
which meant we had school on monday
monday was another brutal day
but went pretty quick like normal
monday we made a whole bunch of stock!
beef, chicken, vegetable and fish
they weren't very hard things to make
but took sometime because they had to get a lot of flavour
the bones were freakin sick and the fish smelt soo bad!
we did a pretty decent job though, chef gave us 83%
the rest of the day was pretty dang brutal
i avoided falling asleep so many times
tim's was a definite necessity
today when my alarm went off
i wanted to kill somebody!
i was super upset that it was a tuesday
and i had to wake up super early
today in the lab we made roux
i don't expect anyone to know what it is
it's melted butter and flour
which is then a thickening agent for the 4 mother sauces
we also made beurre garnie
which is uncooked roux so unmelted butter
there was also glace de viand
onion pique and starch slurry
search them if you're interested
but they're really not that interesting!
our house is super freezing right now
i tried to turn on the heat this morning
but obviously it's not working!
AND
i apparently left my room window wide open this morning
so when i went in tonight i froze my butt off
my laptop was so cold it wouldn't work very well
i think that'd my update for now
have a sanitation and safety test to study for
and a resume to write!
