or just distracted and forgetful
i haven't written about 2 weeks of cooking
i really don't remember that far back
so i'm just going to do a quick re-cap
last week was our second week with meat
we moved onto veal and pork
neither of which i like very much
but we did decent with an 85 and 88
for baking we made some incredible breads
foccacia, french sticks and soft rolls
they all tasted delicious but are definitely tricky to make
you have to work the dough gradually so the yeast starts to work
monday and tuesday of this week
we were onto poultry
our first day we learned out to de-bone a duck and chicken
it was kinda nasty at first, but i got used to it after
we made a roast chicken and tikka masala
both turned out really well and we got the best mark in the class
finally steve and i were at the top after always falling short by 1 mark!
second day we made duck dumpling, stuffed chicken breasts
a vietnamese chicken stir fry and grilled chicken breasts
it was a kinda unorganized day because i was with a different group
and at the end chef gave us a specific presenting time
so we were put on the clock to finish things up
today is baking and we are making custards
so cream caramel, cream brulee and one other
i will let you know how things turn out
last night i went out with a group from my program
it was such an awesome time, we always talked about going out
but someone would be busy or it'd be too late to actually go
we decided we needed to do this more
to get away from the school setting and just have fun
