A La Carte

Actually ended up doing a LOT yesterday, on A La Carte day. So much, in fact, that none of us got eat until 1:30. Besides being exhausting, it was really fun. We learned about all the stations, and practiced making our stations' dish. Started with prep, which in normal days we will always have to have done by 11:15. I was on the fish station with my classmate, D. All of the dishes were very gorgeous when plated, so it's a shame that I didn't have my camera on me! Most importantly, all of the things I tasted were DELICIOUS. :) I think that this is going to be a very fun class, and it'll be great to get some more realistic line cook experience.

Today was simply Food Service Nutrition class day. Looks like it's going to be an easy but fun class, at only 2 credits, so I'm happy for that. I volunteered for prep after class. We prepped food for a womans 95th birthday - she has donated quite a large amount of money to CCI, so on Sunday the culinary department is cooking her and a big group of her friends a nice dinner. Prep was fun for the most part, but I was pretty tired from the week and having some woman-troubles (cough*pms*cough) so it could have gone better for me. Fun enough though, just got a lot of things ready so they'll be easy for the cooks on Sunday. :)

Wont have anything until Wednesday. I decided that I cannot handle Tuesdays pig-corpse breakdown so I talked to Chef Thor and he'll let me go to lecture that day and make up for the lab another day.

Have to remember my camera for Wednesday and from now on to keep a record of all the beautiful things we are creating!
