Hello Roger Rabbit

So we made rabbit! And it was delicious! It tastes kind of like a richer, gamey-er chicken. We also made lamb shanks and since Billy, Richard and Chef didn't want theirs I came home with four lol. So the rabbit was with fresh pasta and a dijon sauce. The lamb shank was with risotto and roasted vegetables. And we also made veal blanquette (bleh, disgusting). Veal blanquette is disgusting because it's basically boiled veal with a white sauce. It's just so bland. And hopefully I'll put some pictures up soon!

Here Comes The Weekend!

So this week was slightly fantastic, we made filet mignons, new york steaks and pork carnitas! The pork was my favorite :). My filet mignon was really rare according to Chef (a.k.a. delicious). Were supposed to cook our steaks to medium rare. My new york steak turned out perfectly. I didn't try it though, I was too busy eating my carnitas. Also, I worked on no sleep monday, was sick tuesday, and was sick and had pink eye wednesday, so it was an exhausting week to say the least. Still dealing with the pink eye. Yuck. And I might be driving back up to Sac tomorrow to help Chef with a holiday cooking class he has. Sounds fun eh?

"SLOW!" "My Boys A Genius!" "Say It Again!" "SLOW"

So as the title implies, tonight was fairly slow. And I get the feeling that Chef gave us off times because all my dishes were like ten minutes off. So let's see, I made Potato Pancakes with a Pecan Butter Stuffed Chicken Leg, an Airline Chicken Breast with Fruit Salsa and Dal, and Vegetable Curry. My potato pancakes weren't fried in enough oil so they got kind of crispy. The chicken leg turned out perfectly though. Then the airline chicken breast was grilled perfectly but my dal was oversalted O.o (which never happens). And my vegetable curry was magnifico! Voila!

Back At It Again

So it's Monday. And I'm back to cooking. Woooooooooooooooooo. Nah, it's not so bad. Tonight was just a slow night. And Chef got pissy once or twice. Which is never fun to deal with. And I had like a really great day today, I was all optimistic and stuff. And then as soon as I was on my way to school it went from happy to bleh. I just feel like I never get enough sleep because my back hurts so I wake up alot at night. Anywho, enough about the personal life. Tonight we prepped our airline breasts and tunneled leg and thigh pieces (of chicken, in case you were lost). And I thought I did very well. the first time I broke down a chicken I did a crap job but this time when Chef Cory broke it down as a demo I took very detailed notes. HA! And then we made fruit salsa. Which was a pain in my butt because we had to small dice everything. Do you realize how long it takes to small dice an entire cantaloupe?!! A very very long time.
