it's been a crazy couple of weeks
with exams and hanging out with my cul friends
i have finished all exams except one
food and bev management
not really sure how it'll go
but we will see!
i am very pleased with my practical exam marks
baking: 84%
cooking: 82%
good hey?
for my cooking i had to make the following:
cream of mushroom soup
rice pilaf
seared chicken breast topped with
hunter sauce
with a side of
broccoli florrets and
glazed carrots
for my baking i have to make:
pastry dough
pastry cream and
cream anglaise
all which resulted in a beautiful fruit tart!
after my crazy exam filled week
my cul friends and i all decided
to make an amazing gingerbread house
which we would sell and raise money
for our hospitality trip next year
after spending nearly $50 at bulk barn
we were ready to start our adventure!
meeting our experimental lab around 8
we got stuff organized and decided to make lunch for our teachers
this turned into be a big ordeal
and we ended up focusing more on that
than the actual house!
we made pork schnitzel
spaetzle pasta and bruschetta bread
for our chefs, teachers and techs
they all really enjoyed it!
after our big kitchen clean up
we decided to head to the school pub for a beer
it was an awesome time
especially since our chef came out with us!
a few beers and hours later
we ended up at my house
to finally work on the gingerbread house!
and again, after a few beers and hours
our house was finally complete
and looked amazing!
over all it has been an awesome first semester
definitely some ups and downs but those can't be avoided
i am honestly so happy that i chose canadore
people ask me why i chose this program and school
and i tell them i have no idea
but i'm so happy with my choice
and know it was this one for a reason
i have met the most amazing people in my program
and am so thankful to have them in my life
and can't really picture them not there anymore
my final exam is tomorrow
wish me luck
i'm so ready to be home now!
