Because we made profiteroles! Whee!
They aren't too beautiful, because we only got to fill one of the ones we were plating, and couldn't use whipped cream, so... very minimal. Still, cute!
Pat a choux is very hard to pipe correctly... you have to hold perfectly still with just the right amount of pressure, stop at just the right time, don't lift it AT ALL, go in a circular motion, but not more than ONE CIRCLE, and then swipe it off to the side and pray the whole thing doesn't fall off. And then you usually still end up with a "tail" that you have to smoosh down! O_O Silly profiteroles... Anyway, these had a pumpkin filling, and the swish is creme brulee. And I definitely would have done something with whipped cream if I had it. :P That was yesterday, Wednesday.
Today was service day and I was on Salmon. Freaked out for a minute because we got a little bit behind, but mostly because I burnt my finger on the pan... twice... in the same spot.. lol Hand towels are your friend... It's actually not too bad, just stung and was really frustrating. Kept having to go re-numb it when it got slow. :D Overall, a very smooth day though. Caught up really really fast, and from then on nothing went wrong. The rest of the class were going very smooth, too, and we really busted out everything when it was time to clean, and got out of there are 2. :)
Almost time for Halloween! I am having a nerdy Halloween party with friends on Saturday. ^_^ Can't wait!
They're pretty even without lying on a bed of whipped cream. Tho that would be good, too! Have a fun and safe party, you Nerds!
