anything but clothes

so apparently i suck at blogging

but it is a lot different being at school

i don't always have exciting things to say

it's usually about things i've learned in school

or crazy weekends, like this past one!

friday night was the abc party

anything but clothes...

so kels and i decided to make

garbage bag dresses and they looked awesome!

some people were pretty dang sketchy though

there were a lot of guys wearing almost nothing!

over all it was a very fun night

back tracking to thursday

this is my baking night and it went very well!

i worked with steve who is an awesome partner

and we owned at making choux pastry and pastry cream

we made delicious swans, eclairs and profiterols

though we thought we got in the 80s chef gave us a 79

today in cooking we actually started to make practical things

so we started our soup labs

we made; pureed carrot soup, cream of mushroom

beef consomme and veggie soup

overall it was a job well done with a 78

our beef consomme tasted very good but a bit more grease could have been removed

our mushroom soup was good but needed more seasoning

our cream of carrot had great taste bur was cold [oops]

and our veggie soup also had great taste but the veg was undercooked

i was the chef du partie today so i feel like i could have stepped up a bit more

i knew that the veg wasn't cooked all the way but didn't say anything

i don't like mushroom soup so don't know what is tastes like

i was surprised that the carrot soup was cold, it was on the stove the whole time

and the consomme seemed pretty degreased to me, chef's just picky!

tomorrow we're starting specialty soups so;

clam chowder, french onion soup

some chicken thai stuff, shrimp bisque

and one other that i can't remember

i feel like these ones are going to be trickier

so i'm going to have to step up my game

and voice what i think of each one

because i really want to do well on these ones

the tuesday after thanksgiving we have our practical exam

this consists of julienne carrots, turned potatoes, breaded mushrooms

and a liter of veggie soup, nothing too tricky

the only thing that worries me

is that i have to do this all on my own!

i will definitely be practicing at home this weekend!

i'm pumped for this weekend

it's weird being away from home

cause it doesn't even feel like it

minus the fact of not seeing my parents constantly!

i will no longer take home cook meals for granted

i am so excited for a turkey dinner and pumpkin pie!
