Cooking Class, November 18th - Duxelle Mushrooms, Apple Confiture

Samus cook

I figure I should start talking more about my cooking classes. It will be a good place to put all of the recipes we get, plus what I am learning and so on.

You've been warned.

As some of you know, last week, Chef Remo's contract terminated because the other night class is done, so we were switched to Chef Otto. I like saying his name. CHEF. OTTO. They are very contrasting teachers, so it is interesting to see different philosophies at work. Both men love teaching, however, and you can tell.

Anyway!

We arrived in class and the first thing we did was get the stock from the pots from yesterday's brown stock we made. They were in the cold kitchen (the cold kitchen is the school's secondary kitchen. It is called cold because it is barely used compared to the hot kitchen. Get it? Get it?)

After that, we returned and started cutting up mushrooms for Duxelles I will have the recipe tomorrow, since I left it in my school locker.

We did that until break where students from the night class who hadn't passed their breakfast modules served us supper. So yes, I got to eat breakfast at 8pm and it was pretty glorious.

After break we got to do the mise en place for the apple jam. I an excite for that tomorrow.

Exams next week. Hopefully I will do well.

Cleanup was later than usual which led to us leaving at 10h10 instead of 10pm. Our group did the table and floor cleaning. I got to mop the floor, among other things.

Christ on a crack

I bought Orange Box on Steam.

This is ENTIRELY Toasty's fault

Can you feel the love tonight?

Bedroom Eyes

Give me a pairing and I will write a love note from one to another. The pairing can be my character and yours, mine and someone else's, or anything that strikes your fancy as long as I know who they are.

This sounded like so much fun, so let's have them :D

Hey it's time for more posting a WIP

Hmmm

Yeah! )

Maybe one day I'll get to coloring and doing the characters themselves instead of spending so much time on backgrounds and foregrounds! Yeah!

WIP - Back in Black Mafia

Tee hee hee

So SBG is doing a gangster theme this month.

I have to admit that I enjoy the theme a lot, there's something about that type of clothing that appeals to me. I've already started to work on something, and it's a group picture which I haven't done in a pretty good while. Shading is only testing out stuff, and only click if you want to get spoiled :

Gee I wonder who would make a good 1920's mafia gang. )

Hmmm

I have been feeling so sick lately, at least I am hoping it is not swine flu ahhh. Cooking classes are okay, I'm surviving, which is a good thing, I think.

I ship this too anon. That is the best secret ever it made me pretty happy.
 
So I hear there's this cellphone meme going around...ask me about what cellphones my dudes use.

Late entry is late...or early

FF7 - What

Cooking class was interesting today. I made the most BADASS MAYO you have no idea oh man it is delicious and I want a table mixer now baaaw.

I should maybe talk about my cooking classes more, but I have been very lazy. So far I seem to be doing pretty well in the sense I have passed all of my tests, I know my china caps from my colianders, yay. Only got burned two and cut once too, not a bad ratio for being a month there. Watch this will jinx it.

RP STUFF!
I am slowly working on changing Arceus' human design. I figured she MAINLY had the childlike 1980's look because of her love for Olaf, but she's slowly moving on, and I've been meaning to redraw her anyway.

So I put on some music on repeat and got to it.

Makeover, makeover, makeover! )

Okay bedtime off I go.


I gave it a proper Viking funeral

It was such an interesting ten years of my internet life and I had so much fun with all of you, but after a year of inactivity and the fact I help run but Smash Academy and Zenithia now, I've officially closed down Missing Shard.

You guys were so awesome, I am glad to still read about everyone's adventures thanks to livejournal. Thanks for being there and liking the game guys. I wish we could have gone further into the plot, but that's what happens. Maybe one day on Livejournal...who knows.



As of now, ms.attention-universe.com/ no longer exists.

I now leave you with this: http://www.attention-universe.com/music/attention_universe_birth.mp3

♥ you guys.


I would much enjoy doing this too

Excited!

I love Ocarina of Time. I've played it countless times. I've written joke novels about it I love it so much.

I never really thought about going to the back alley of the castle before going to the temple of time. And what a damn shame because this is what I missed every time.

H-holy shit. That is...pretty intense.

And to think I missed it all those times. Thanks goons for pointing this out.

This is way too fun.

Much ado about nothing but posting anyway

Gotta Pee

Exam tomorrow today I am so goddamn nervous oh god I hope I pass athrathrsyj.

Smash Academy and Zenithia have been rocking my socks off so much lately it is awesome. I just need to get better at tagging the both of them. I just want to write action stuff forever. Alice, Alice I told you that I think Random and Jill should talk more right? Right.

Look! An attempt at Solo Logging that will take FOREVER. And I really want to finish this one too.

Did I mention an example tomorrow later today because GODDAMN.

WHY DO I KEEP CHOOSING.

DOMAINS PREDOMINATELY HAVING MALES IN THE TASK FORCE.

Seriously we are only 5 girls in the entire class. First interview he mentioned there are only boys in the kitchen.

I feel like the odd girl out - everyone has some form of culinary background, we even have a baker who's been doing his job for 20 years. I'm just a multimedia expert who decided they should go in cooking.

I'm still excited yet completely scared. One thing I did love with the firs chef interview however.

"Once you learn this job, you'll never be hungry again. You can walk into a kitchen in Italy and not speak the language...if you can show to the chef you can cook, he might hire you."

I like that idea. I like it very much. There's the freedom of being able to go anywhere that makes me excited about this. Traveling abroad, working in kitchens around the world. I probably won't be able to call myself a good chef for a couple of years, but the yearn for learning is there.

Bedroom Eyes

This is my new favoritest icon ever.

Had a very pleasant evening with my older sister at her house, made some T-Bones on the BBQ. Came out delicious and perfect. Then we all headed to the old port for some walking, star gazing and talking.

I have never felt this peaceful, despite knowing that the next 14 months are going to be crazy.

At the risk of sounded totally gay, I can`t wait to talk to you guys again tomorrow, cause I miss you all ♥ And to tag everything too, just loading up this page took 5 minutes; :(.

Oh, hi!

Arrived at my mom`s place this Saturday afternoon. Saw my entire family on my dad`s side today at a corn-on-the-cob eating family gathering thing. Took some pictures because obviously you all want to see my uncles and aunts.

Talked with my sole aunt on my dad`s side and it turns out that my stomach pain might be because of eating certain foods. It causes some sort of pain on my left side, and I noticed it happened more when I had pizza or yesterday when I ate lasagna. My aunt got diagnosed with in a couple of years back and has since forgotten what it is named, but she was pretty much banned from eating certain foods.Cheese, nuts and certain spices.

I would be a very sad person if I am banned cheese for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, I can`t keep up with SBG and Zenithia right now, just trying to load the ball page is super slow on this celeron powered computer, and I currently only remember Lash and Sonic`s passwords by heart. Thankfully I had tagged their threads, so it's just a question of loading up their homepage and following links but apart from that I can't do anything until I return hom this Tuesday. 

I think I left my password sheet next to my computer. (I like have different passwords for each character, okay) So if any of my characters start talking about sexual pills, at least I`ll know that someone`s entered our apartment. :|

School starts in 4 days, I suddenly feel both afraid and excited. I just hope I'll be good enough. Drawing courses start in september. I'm so excited about that as well. ♥ I'm not going to have as much free time as I did before, but I think it will all be worth it, at the end. I want to draw better, and I want to be a great cook. I'd love to open either a pastry shop or an ice cream parlor. because, let's face it, who goes into an ice cream parlor being depressed.

"Screw my life, I sure could go for some ice cream :| " You make kids happy and...and I could do some gelato and make really awesome ones and ice cream cakes and ethsrtjj, okay getting way too ahead of myself aren't I.

How are you doing, Friend List? I have trouble loading my friend's page as well, so if you feel like talking about anything or whatever you are doing, I'd love to hear about it. ♥ I hope everyone is doing well and you all won a million dollars and maybe one of you will share some of that money with me so I can open that pastry shop 8Ub
