What I've been doing lately...

Here's a couple of pictures of the dishes that I've made since I purchased my new digital camera:

Fillet Minion w/ Ratatouille & Bordelaise Sauce. I didn't realize the ratatouille was still smoking.


Pork Chop w/ a rosemary, veal stock, and red wine pan reduction sauce.


We also had a bit of a buffet with the leftover meats we had left from Fabrication. It was awesome for our first Buffet-type set up.






Today we had a bit of an "Iron Chef" type challenge. We were divided into teams and had to create and appetizer and main dish featuring Squall and Sweetbreads. My team decided to make a sweetbread appetizer and squall entree. My team won the challenge with our sweetbread nuggets(lol) and deep fried squall.

Our nugget appetizer.



Our entree. Ignore the hands, my teammates were freaking out over the sagging asparagus.

I'm really having a great time, and getting to eat what we create is always a plus. I'm looking forward to completing the program and getting a job that I won't absolutely loath for once. I'll take more pictures since I have to make a portfolio  and submit it with my resume for grading.

California School of Culinary Arts. It's a relitively quick program and I'll be done in September, I started in February. I'm having so much fun there I'm tempted to continue and try for my Associate degree.

Thanks, deep frying it really gave it a beautiful brown color. I can't wait until I'm done with this program, it would be nice to have a place to call my own, that and to be able to afford luxury items again, lol. *misses her cell phone*

Mmm, nothing like a little cow pancreas for an appetizer! :P

The fillet and chop look amazing, though!

Yeah, I was a little wierded out by it at first, but ours ended up tasting like a slightly odd textured chicken nugget, lol. Nothing like deep frying to make everything better.
